Looking For Advice on a "Major" Decision

[DonRotolo]

What Eric said^^. Also:

Don't worry so much about the money: Those who like what the do are passionate about it; Those passionate about what they do are good at it; Those good at what they do make more money doing it.

MEs need better math skills. Microelectronics design (design of semiconductors) is not (IMHO) a growth area in the industry.

Learn how to write well, using very few words. Get good at explaining things. Get excellent people skills. And have a good work ethic. All of these will make you successful in whatever you do.
