I never thought I'd have to make this but I got into Mechatronics Engineering Coop as my second choice over Mechanical Engineering Coop (which was my first choice, with Mech E Trad being my third). I really don't know if I want to do software and automation oriented stuff since I've always liked more mechanical systems such as military vehicles and whatnot (not to say they don't have software elements but there's a large mechanical side to them that caters to Mechanical Engineers).

My main question is now, how can I position myself to get a job I would actually be happy in? I wanted to do Mech E and go into some sort of military engineering position (Maybe even aerospace), however I'm not sure if that's plausible now. Can Mechatronics Engineers get into military and even do some of a Mech E's work? If not, is Y2Q2 calling to me?

In general I've heard that Mechatronics don't even get jobs or coops over Mech Es and EE's, but somehow they're supposed to be the future? Really don't know what to do now.
