Ask HN: Should I study machine learning or software engineering?

My college offers Bachelor's degrees in computer science with the option to emphasize in software engineering or machine learning. I find software engineering more interesting because I want to learn to make apps and websites. However I have heard that it has become more difficult to find a job as a software engineer. On the other hand there seems to be a lot of demand for machine learning. I do find machine learning interesting, but not as much. Does it matter? Will I have significantly more/better job opportunities in machine learning than in software engineering?
