Hi Guys,

I am trying to choose a path in mechanical engineering. I am wondering what braches you guys have had experience with. I thinking like consumer electronics (apple, mircosoft), general mechanical (ford, etc), aero/astro (boeing, Nasa), oil stuff(shell, exxon).
Do you guys have any knowledge of these braches? What where you experience with them? Would you recommend one? Where you paid decently?
I know it's largely personal preference but I'm just wondering about your views?

Thanks,
George
