Hi, I'm currently filling out my application for engineering school (going back after completing most pre-reqs and completing my bachelors in behavioral neuroscience).
I did very well in math and physics up until now and practice difficult integration and physics problems for fun at this point (completed Cal I and Mechanics with an 88% average in both, which was at least 18% above the class average).
The problem I'm having is I find it ALL interesting. The only part of physics I found boring (but not necessarily difficult) was optics. I love math, complex problem sets in physics and studying the material. I'm looking for an engineering program that will provide me with decent job security in the future; I don't necessarily care if I make less money in one as opposed to the other but I do want to do something that does help society (I know all engineers do in one way or another).
Either way, my choices are narrowed down to the 3 most popular (or common)--mechanical, civil, and electrical (please no chemical as the one science subject I abhor is chemistry). I like the complex workings of both mech and elec but I also like the grandness of civil (bridges or major high-rises). Basically, since I like them all I'd be willing to do them all--my main concern is which one would provide me with the best job security and the most demand in the future?
Thanks in advance.
