<p>I am in conflict with myself on which type of engineering to major in. I guess once narrowed down, my question is really, "which one would pay more?" I am pretty sure I would enjoy majoring in almost any engineering, but i don't know which one would benefit me the most. I wouldn't mind majoring in applied mathematics, but would that be more beneficial than majoring in a type of engineering? </p>
<p>Thanks in advanced!</p>
<p>P.S.- I don't plan on doing mechanical engineering [im guessing that more difficulty = better pay in the future...right?]</p>
<p>Uhm, to be honest I would be happy to simply research technology with mathematics as its foundation. I don't really like chemistry, nor biology. Im leaning towards aerospace engineering, but I want to know if there are any other options. Also, is it true that more difficult = better pay in future?</p>
<p>Supply and demand correlates better with pay rather than difficulty of the subject matter. In most cases it's the same, but not in every case. Remember the dot com period? There were so many electrical engineers (I'm including compE and CS in here) graduating that some qualified candidates couldn't find jobs in the EE industry; I know quite a few who ended up pursuing other careers. I'm sure nobody here doubts the rigor of the EE curriculum, so more difficult does not always equal better pay (or even a job). Of course, this is an extreme example, but supply & demand does control.</p>
