Re: What kind of degree do you hope to pursue after high school?
I'm in the mechanical side of a bachelors in electromechanical engineering.
It's basically an associates in electrical and one in mechanical glued together. It gives a nice base in most every subject with an emphasis on project lifespans (working all all the phases of a projects life) and real mechanical and electrical experience (lots of time in machine shop and making functional circuits. Lots of time spent on diagnostics of electromechanical systems (instructor drops a broken thingly on the table and asks you to write a report on why it doesn't work anymore). It's a nice mix if you like technology but don't want to spend 4 years learning theory. You won't be in a good position to get a masters later on, but I've no desire to.
I have no aspirations to be a full fledged engineer my self, so this degree is a nice pick for me. It makes me very attractive to the kinds of employers I like and the jobs I want. A position in a prototyping lab or research shop would be lovely.
