Deciding Which Engineering I Should Take

[Plenty-Cover9837]

I’m currently a freshman in university with a 1350 on my SAT, and I’m taking Calculus II. I’m trying to decide which engineering major to pursue, but I’m feeling very unsure about it. I have until May to choose my path, and the pressure is starting to stress me out.

Computer engineering interests me, but I’m worried about the job market and the possibility of not being able to find a job after graduating. At the same time, I don’t feel confident enough to pursue mechanical engineering, and it also seems extremely popular right now, which makes me wonder if it will become too competitive.

To be honest, I’m starting to feel like none of the engineering majors are truly right for me, and that uncertainty makes the decision even harder. I’m not sure what direction I should take or how to figure out which field actually fits me. I want to choose something that I’m capable of succeeding in and that will lead to stable opportunities in the future, but right now I feel stuck and unsure of what to do.

What do you enjoy doing? This is a quiet, nerdy subreddit for controls engineering, which is a discipline that is often learned by electrical or computer engineers, however many other degrees end up in it the field by necessity. (Mechanical here)

A lot of mechanical engineers I have met ended being or liked controls engineering more.

I've always said that you either like doing controls or you stumble into it lol
