well, if you get into testing or manufacturing jobs, it will be very hands-on and you will get your hands dirty....

if you don't like cars and machines, i assume you will also don't like working on turbines and what-not. do you like engines? if not, then working on airplane engines will not also appeal to you.

then it gets pretty limited in ME field on what you can actually work on. you will either want to design airplanes or possibly structural analysis...


you see, i had tons of interviews for ME positions, and more than couple of interviewers asked me, "do you like fixing your car?" (none of them were automobile companies... they were all aerospace)


think it like this. what kind of companies do you want to work for after you graduate?

EE/ CE: Microsoft/ Qualcomm/ Google/ Amazon/
ME/ AE: Boeing/ Lockheed/ Toyota/ GE/ United Technologies


... to tell you the truth, EE graduates can also work in all the companies listed in ME listing. But if a company is computer/electrical-focused like Microsoft, they won't hire MEs... they do hire other majors for Program Manager positions though...
