AI Thread Summary
Mechatronics engineering and computer science offer overlapping career opportunities, with both fields utilizing similar skill sets. Mechatronics engineers typically engage with tangible, physical systems, while computer scientists focus on abstract, digital solutions. Predicting job markets for these fields can be unreliable, as changes in one often impact the other significantly. Ultimately, the decision should be based on personal interest and passion for the subject matter, rather than solely on job prospects. Pursuing what excites and motivates you is the recommended approach.

I'm reluctant to reply here because you're not asking a good question. You're asking someone else to make a life choice for you.

Both fields are very similar. Both use their skills very similarly. However Mechatronics engineers tend to see their results doing physical things, whereas Computer Scientists tend to see their devices doing Interesting abstract things.

People try to predict job markets and they frequently get it horribly wrong. I think these two choices are so intertwined that whatever happens to one is likely to have very significant effects upon the other. If someone responds with a quantitative result to your question you should not take them seriously.

Choose what amuses you and pursue that. Good luck!
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
