I finished my first year as a computer engineer major, but after doing some research on mechanical I’m a little more drawn to it. For computer I would say the coding+hardware duality, and high salary is what interests me but the only con is it seems like a saturated and competitive major to find a job. With mech I’m interested in going in fields like aerospace,,robotics, and defense but the con is the lower salary but it doesn’t seem too saturated? How do I decide which one? Or could ppl tell me their salary and day job experience in both?

I’m planning on switching majors to mechanical engineering as a sophomore this summer, so I have 2 choices: take general physics 1 with the lab and calc 2 in summer or don’t take the lab, but instead in fall, I would have to take general physics 2 WITH a lab while also doing general chemistry 1 which comes with a lab, along other typical classes? The main factor is when I take a physics lab since I don’t need 2 total labs just 1.
