Electrical : Broad field which embodies the application of electricity and light (communication, power, electronics, control systems...)

Mechanical : Broad field of designing and manufacturing mechanical systems.

Which one is harder ? Academically : Electrical has a heavier course load and more mathematics.

There are more jobs regarding electrical engineering.

If you're not good at thinking in 3D and drawing, than don't take Mechanical unless you work on those skills.

Correction : Not drawing but sketching.

My advice is, if you don't know what they are and why you want to do engineering, don't do either. I'm in ME and it is really weak. There are also lots of kids who have no idea why they're going to college other than getting a paper diploma and finding a "job". Very sad IMHO.

I'd say go back and think over what you want to do, what you're good at, what you like doing. Deciding on the major will become easy after that.
