Confused, needs some advice.

<p>Hello there!
I've just joined this forum after doing some heavy googling regarding the subject I'll be studying. There are some interesting discussions going on here :)</p>

<p>Actually im very confused on what and where to go after finishing my high school ( oh and I'm from Asia). I'm planning on doing medicine but not long ago I was offered a scholarship by the government to study in France or Germany in the field of engineering. </p>

<p>Wow then.. I'm clueless about the engineering field. I've never thought of becoming an engineer. Thus, leading me to tireless nights of insomnia. Im wondering, and also to seek advice from the community regarding this field. How's the job security? Which engineering should I go for?(im considering mechanical engineering) and other benefits of being an engineer over a medical doctor. </p>

<p>P.s. I do know how to program and code during my teen years( a lot of online games :)), is it an advantage to me?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance guys!</p>

<p>You should probably go read some of the threads on the engineering major forum, then post questions out there.</p>
