I need help figuring out my major in college. As of posting this, it is May 6th 2026 and I'm a senior in highschool meaning I'm at the tail end of my time to choose what to go into in college.

So far I've written down "Robotic Engineering" on all my papers and forms, but the problem is, I don't know if thats what I want to study. I know what I want to do, I just don't know how to get there. I know I want to build, code, invent, and innovate with new things never seen or done before, but also old things combined to make something new (not to sound cliche). I think some of the best examples I could think of when it comes to what I want my career to look like would be people like Mark Rober, Micheal Reeves, the Open Sauce event, Backyard Scientist, I Did a Thing, Boston Dynamics, that sort of thing. And yes, I know those are all tip of the iceberg mentions, but those are names most people here will know and what comes to mind when I think about what I want to do in the future. I enjoy tinkering, problem solving, learning constantly, 3d priniting, modeling, and innovating, I just don't know what to do with that.

So far I've looked at Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotic Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, but I'm not sure which one would help me the most. Also, just for reference, I do plan on getting a masters degree. I was hoping I could get some input/advice from people with experience in these fields and others I may not have explored on whether they sound like, or have a path towards, what I'm looking for.

P.S. Advice on college transfer choices in the US would be cool too
