Hi everybody, I'm looking for some advice in what to do for choosing a career in a few weeks i'll be able to change my career path, I've recently applied for a career change in my school and next february 11 they'll tell me if my change of career is approved.
it's very likely that i´ll obtain it because of my high grades, I'm currently studying mechanical engineering and about to pass to fourth semester, when i first apply for my university, i was able to choose 3 majors, i chose; mechatronics engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial engineering, i was accepted in mechanical engineering of course my aim was mechatronics, but since it is a demanded field just the best of the best can study mechatronics. Anyway that's not the problem anymore, since i did a little research and mechatronics engineers don't have as many options as some of the more traditional engineering fields and one of my teachers told me that i could do mechatronics engineering with a mechanical eng degree.
Returning to my point right now i don't know if i want to be a mechanical engineer, i don't completely dislike the career it's very interesting too, i like the physics, math, and the design aspect, but in retrospect i wanted mechatronics for the tecnological aspect its relations to computer science, electronics etc. and mechanical doesn't fit all my interests, at the same time i think of my age, I'm currently 25 and that makes me more cautious.
So i would like to know if i should sitck to mechanical engineering, and maybe do a computer systems masters, i think that would also give and advantage because i would be able to do mechanical and the computer engineering thing. would that be wise? or go with computer systems and start all over again which is not that much of time just one year and a half, i think i could handle that feeling of starting all over again. so can you give me your opinion on this? thank you very much guys.
