I got an offer to take up a mechanical engieering degree at university. The degree is a specialised one, with not much room for electrical engineering. I know I want to become an engineer, but am just not very sure about whether I want to be a mechanical or electrical engineer. Hence I want to ask whether picking up the mechanical engineering offer will somehow lock me in for life in one of the subfields, or are the skills and the way of thinking learned during the degree more important than the content of the academic coursework?
What are the career prospects of the respective degrees? Which one is broader? What type of engineer earns more? Which is more appropriate if I want to go into engineering management in the future?
