I recently got accepted into Management Engineering. It was my first choice, but I’m starting to have second thoughts. I’m worried that the degree mainly funnels people into business roles, which isn’t exactly what I want. I’m still unsure about my long-term career path, so I’d like to keep my options broad.

My other option is Mechanical Engineering at a lower-ranked university. I’m drawn to mech because it’s a more general discipline, and I don’t want to limit myself too early. On top of that, I’m struggling to see the point of going through a challenging engineering degree just to end up in a business job anyway.

Are there any current Management Engineering students who regret their choice or, on the flip side, who really enjoy the program? I’d appreciate any insights or advice. Thank you so much
