Hello. I am currently a high school senior who will go to ASU with a major in Aerospace Engineering. However, I am having doubts that I am not going to like my future job or I will not find Aerospace jobs (because I was told by a teacher that the number of jobs in the Aerospace field is declining), which is why I want to do Mechanical Engineering. Because the two engineering fields are similar, I was thinking why not do both. So my questions are: Is taking a double major worth it? If it is not, then should I take Mechanical Engineering as my major and have a minor in Aerospace Engineering? Or should I just take Mechanical Engineering only?
@LordUrkelTheGr8 I’m not particularly familiar with the intricacies of ME vs. AE, but as far as double majoring goes, why don’t you just wait and see? You haven’t even started classes yet. Take a few classes of both once you get to school, and go from there. Maybe you’ll realize you love/hate AE, or love/hate ME. Who knows? You have plenty of time to figure out what you plan on doing. You’re young, and you’ll find your way.
I should note, that if you’re already saying you might not like your future job, you probably won’t.
