Which engineering degree should I aim for?

I’m a high school student becoming increasingly interested in taking mechanical, aerospace or nuclear engineering, however I’m not sure which would be the best one. From the basics I’ve researched, all of them are things I’d like to study as each have something different I’m interested in. I did hear in careers especially companies find they’re employing more mechanical engineers than aerospace/aeronautical engineers, whilst nuclear engineering offers more stability. Aerospace is seen as an inconvenient degree by many, but it’s just really cool to go into.

Mechanical. It’s a field with many branches, in high demand, and it will open the doors to other fields of engineering. Also, it won’t narrow you a specific field which you may find does not suit you.

Mechanical engineering has more geographical flexibility. You can live just about anywhere and find a variety of mechanical engineering jobs to choose from. Nuclear and aerospace tend to restrict where you live more.
