<p>I just wanted to repeat psuKinger's post as he has it correct! This is exactly what I would say!</p>
<p>I couldn't disagree more with the opening response in this thread.</p>
<p>The idea that Mechanical/Electrical engineering are two of the three "worst" to get into is absolutely ludicrous. You couldn't possibly be more wrong.</p>
<p>Many of the people who hold jobs with the title "Aerospace Engineer" or "Nuclear Engineer" have at least an undergraduate degree in Engineering. A good Mechanical Engineer coming out of undergrad can effectively hoard in on a large chunk of the jobs available to Aerospace Engineers, Nuclear Engineers, and Industrial Engineers, if they so choose. The reverse is not true, however. A degree in Aerospace Engineering, while cool, can/will limit the number of jobs you can be a legitimate candidate for.</p>
<p>The same is true for Electrical Engineering. EE's are capable of stepping into the job arena and competing for a goodly sized chunk of jobs available to Computer Engineers, but the reverse is not true. Computer Engineering may (or may not) successfully increase your appeal in certain job markets, but there will be an awful lot of available jobs that you can't be considered for, because they're looking for a EE instead.</p>
<p>I cannot/will not substantiate these claims with any links. These opinions come from my own personal experiences with my own degree and the degrees of my best friends from high school and college (especially my best friend's). Take it for whatever it's wort</p>
