What career is right for me?

[John Gutmann]

I am looking for some advice. For some time now I have been trying to decide what I want to major in. I started out as a MechE and then switched to CompE but now I am unsure. I saw the thread about the GT using more robotics in their curriculum and that is why I decided to ask. I would love to be in a career where I get to do the same thing as we do in FIRST. But I would like to do EVERYTHING on the robot. I know it isn't possible. But I am deep into electronics, mechanical and programming. I am very knowledgable in all the areas too. Right now I think I would rather do something with embedded systems like in what we do here. I am guessing that is a CompE major, but what exactly does a CompE major study? What does a CompE major do as a career?

I would like to do some kind of programming like what they do for something like Asimo or just some kind of factory robot or something. I just don't really know what is out there. But I like designing the electronics for an embedded system then programming it.
