Re: Help finding a good career

Here's something I'm looking into for college:

Engineering -> Mechanical engineering -> Mechatronics

Mechatronics is basically robotics. It's engineering with everything in it. You have mechanical, electrical, software, etc. Though you don't need to do everything, some people do. You get to stay in robotics, and you get the openness of being a mechanical engineer who programs a machine you did the electrical for but never built. Or you can do a little of everything. Once of my friends who graduated from the team last year said she does mechanical engineering, and works on the software, wiring, and building of 1 specific part of the machine, whether it be a mechanism, or a drivetrain.
