Sub-fields in mechanical engineering: demand, salary, and job stress

[ilvpat]

Hi,

Excuse me for not putting this post on Academic Advise. I am a mechanical engineering student and therefore would like to target my question to the general ME audience who might have a better understanding of the field.

I see myself as being an engineer working in the industry after my graduate study, thus evaluating the growing potential or demands of the field I choose to specialize is as important as matching my own interests, if not more so.

Can anybody share their opinions/understandings of different sub-fields in ME in terms of demands, salary, competitiveness and stress/pressure?

Thank you

I think your getting ahead of yourself. You first need to decide what discipline of engineering to go into. Such as structural, fluids, kinematics, etc.
