<p>Well rizky1995, I have a few pointers for you. First, as you know, you should not base your career choice on money. From what I have been able to see, there are good jobs out there for all engineer majors and so there are good ME jobs and good AE jobs that make higher end wages. </p>
<p>Now, you should be choosing a field which you are interested, if not passionate, about. Engineering isn’t supposed to be the easiest degree to get and I have a few friends doing engineering who have struggled to stay motivated due to lack of interest and this leads to grades slipping, generally because they just don’t want to put in the time they need to into their schoolwork. You have to do some soul searching and get an idea what you may want to do down the road.</p>
<p>One thing to note is UIUC is a great engineering school all around, so if you got in, you could try changing to a different engineering major if you don’t like the one you are currently in. One thing I should say is, from what I have been told, that transferring into ME or AE is tough, but there are still plenty of other good options. </p>
<p>I am actually a current UIUC Aerospace Engineering student in my third year, so if you have any specific questions, feel free to message me about it.</p>
