ChunkyPastaSauce:

People who double major in engineering typically have a 10% greater salary than single engineering majors.



Where did you get that figure?

And to the OP, definitely figure out which one of those you would like to follow by taking classes in the respective disciplines.

Also, important to note. The people working on alternative fuel sources are largely chemical engineers. This includes batteries for hybrid vehicles. My school has a dual MS degree called “Engineering Sustainable Systems”, and the sustainable energy track is largely comprised of ChemE courses.

That’s not to say you can’t find work in the field with ME. You most definitely would be able to, but just a thought of something else you could look in to.
