<p>Let me break it down for you plain and simple, Baly20:
First off, you’re smart for starting to think about this so early in your life. Junior year is the perfect time to start figuring out what you like to do and what you don’t like to do. So how do you figure out what you like more?</p>
<p>Well…
An engineer attacks different problems throughout his life. He will use many fundamental concepts to solve a variety of problems.</p>
<p>You said that you don’t want to go to medical school, so I’m guessing that the “other option” is to be a neuroscientist?</p>
<p>I think you should major in engineering and minor in neuroscience. Most schools won’t have a specific automotive engineering major other than like [Department</a> of Automotive Engineering | Clemson University, South Carolina](<a href=“Automotive Engineering”>Automotive Engineering)</p>
<p>UMichigan also has an automotive engineering program [Integrative</a> Systems + Design - College of Engineering - University of Michigan](<a href=“http://isd.engin.umich.edu/degree-programs/automotive-engineering/]Integrative”>http://isd.engin.umich.edu/degree-programs/automotive-engineering/)</p>
<p>If I were you, I would consider doing mechanical engineering and in your free time be a part of the solar car team or be a part of the automotive engineering team on campus. When you go out looking for a job, you’ll have many more options than if you did strictly automotive engineering.</p>
<p>Also go shadow a neuroscientist and see if you like what he does.</p>
