<p>Because I would like to know if I still have the same job prospects as a Mech E if I major in General E at a LAC. It's just that I'm trying to compile a college list of engineering schools that will provide good fin aid and I want more options. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Lydia, in my 56 years, not once has any engineer I have known said they were a general engineer (though I knew an a general who was an engineer). Actually, it has always been my impression that mechanical engineers are fairly versatile.</p>
