I am interested and plan to major in mechE. However, I am slowly finding out there are some job constraints with mechE and that wages are not as high compared to other engineering majors.

So sticking to mechE, I was looking at specialization options to attract more demand and money. So I'm planning to minor in comp sci. because not only is it so widely used in today's world but CS guys seem to get the highest wages.

From here, I plan to specialize in mechatronics. I think CS will help create mechanical systems that are automatic. Mechatronics is like control automation engineering. Can you guys help me analyze this option. Will this option actually give me what I am looking for? Will Comp Sci. as a minor provide me the benefits I am looking for? Can it be integrated with mechE?
