Any regrets, Engineering majors? (or engineers)

My late blooming son has been exploring possible majors and one of interest is materials science/engineering. He’s already been at community college 3 years (part time) and would need at least another 1.5 years of math, physics and chemistry in order to meet transfer requirements for engineering.

He’s got a 4.0 GPA thus far (doing great in Calc. 2 now) and says he is up for the challenge. My husband and I don’t mind him taking extra years to get there if it’s what he’s truly passionate about.

Wondering if there are Engineering majors (or actual engineers) who might pipe in. Are you happy you chose this major/career? Would you choose differently if you could go back in time? Any other thoughts, pros/cons, appreciated.
