I’m a highschool senior doing uc app.
I’m interested in majoring in either math or engineering…
My father, who is a mechanical engineer, wants me to go into engineering field…
He recommends me electrical, but some of my peers say it will be too hard for me.
I had interest in aerospace, but I heard government doesn’t support space industry as it used to be.
I don’t really know what I want to do… I’d be happy to work at NASA or Boeing…
I’m also interested in energy efficiency or running business for limited natural resources…
My ultimate dream is serving missionary work as an engineer.
Or should I just major in mathematics (my best subject…) and see wide range from finance to technology field?

What kind of engineering will be in greatest demand in ten years? I don’t know what to choose
I’ll be either going to UCLA, USC, or Berkeley (Stanford if lucky)
Help~
