I’m about to graduate in a few months with an associates degree in science. As a science major i’ve taken a variety of math/science related courses, while continually focusing more and more on math (I seem to enjoy math the most). After this I have the opportunity to earn a bachelors using my current course credits towards the bachelors. So for example, as a science major i’ve taken a number of the physics, chemistry, and math courses required for mech engineer and/or computer science. Now it just leaves the big question of which i’d like to pursue the most because honestly, both fascinate me. I’d love to be able to study both and combine the two somehow. Time and money is certainly a worry for me, which is why i’m so determined to decide which field to go into. The reason i’ve been asking engineers this question is because from the looks of it, it seems as if engineering may be the pick out of the two with the broader curriculum (allowing me to learn some programming, and still learn mechanical, physical skills.)
