Mechanical Vs Electrical

<p>Trying to decide between the two. Can anyone tell em the major discrepancies between the two? Such as what you learn, careers in the future, etc.</p>

<p>This is totally my own personal anecdote, but I wish I were an electrical or computer engineer (I am a ChemE). Tips for deciding between them:</p>

<p>Look up the curricula, four year plans of the majors. It should be on the college website.</p>

<p>Examine actual job offerings for those degrees on either the college job website or sites like careerbuilder.com</p>

<p>Both of those majors have broad career possibilities, but you also have to specialize within the major. A power company might not hire an EE who specialized in computers.
By the way, do you like to program? Because the job offerings for software engineers are huge right now.</p>
