As a CS student, pretty much any job I can get, a mecheng student can also get. I can't say the same for the reverse. Mechanical engineering is engineering with programming (every stem subject and more has programming nowadays) whereas computer science is just a lot programming and a bit of how computers work
If I could go back I would study physics, because you can do most engineering jobs with physics, and you can do some jobs that you can't do with any engineering degree. It's a similar thing with mathematics and chemistry.
Do not become dependent on coffee, as it is more likely to mediate anxious elements on your behavior. Moreover, depending on coffee can alter your concentration overall. Don’t trust a potential neuroscientist who doesn’t consider this fact.
Mine is history Education/French, if I could change I'd definitely do poli sci and try to become a member of a governmental body, i always have adored the U.K. parliament. Pretty sure u have to be a citizen to do that so it might be a far off desire😂 Also, art history is so cool, It would rock to be an art major and specialize in teaching art history I love history Ed though and French I'm very satisfied with my studies so far even though I won't make 80k straight out of college the passion is what matters most in my eyes
Mechanical is outdated and you're going to switch to computer science. Lots of people would drop out of Mechanical at my collage and switch to computer science or business because it was really difficult. The stupidest statement you can make is that it's outdated. It's difficult because you have to learn to code real crap. The professors work on the Osprey crashing because of harmonics that the plane might hit while it's changing blade angles and then in vibrates itself apart. The have to consult the Aerospace engineers. Or they work on stealth submarine stuff. Can you computer code stealth? Mechanical Engineering is outdated that's why computer dorks die in submarines at the titanic to look at it through a computer monitor. If that doesn't illustrate how stupid computer dorks are nothing will. they couldn't even design a window in the sub to look out of it. They had no backup mechanics of their nintendo controller broke, and their crap imploded. You see the same thing with computer dorks at boeing messing up their safety, and getting people stuck in space. Computer dorks are lazy dumb losers. They're like the comic book guy in the simpson where they are smart on bullshit. A mechanical engineering graduate from my school made fortnite anyway, and he didn't even need a CS degree. But you need a ME degree to do ME stuff.
The only time that Mechanical Engineering will go outdated is when humans no longer exist or our technology goes back to primitive times or we evolve in future to be 10x physically stronger that we no longer depend in cars, ships, airplanes to travel; machinery and robots to help us on tedious and hazardous tasks; powerplants to generate electricity or as simple as having a refrigerator or washing machine to make our lives comfortable.
“Why are there so many health science majors!” *talks to a group of girls who are walking together, clearly friends, and likely met through their major*
I went to a community college in a small town for business admin and that got me a restaurant job. Then I got a few telemarketing/customer service jobs. Then I taught myself how to use SQL and got a tech support job, then data analyst, then customer success at a SaaS company, then head of customer success at a fintech in nyc’s financial district . You don’t need to go to a fancy university but you do need to be self taught and confident, then people will start listening to you and they’ll let you in the rooms you need to be in.
It’s not outdated but it’s mature enough. But for CS, it’s still evolving but this will be mature enough in 20 to 30 years I guess. The most demanding is know a specific engineering subject plus coding
