EE always starts with circuits, later you will get electromagnetics, control systems, programming, singal processing, possibly a bunch of other stuff. At least one area is guaranteed to suck, but the practice of engineering is pretty specialized and it is not hard to avoid the stuff you hate. I haven’t worked with low-frequency circuits since my undergrad classes, and I will match building and using lasers against the excitement of a wind turbine any day.

Still, ME can be pretty cool too. It’s really just up to your preferences.
