Re: Mechanical Or Electrical???

Sri,
This is not an easy question to answer. We know so little about you and what you like. High school counseling offices have a variety of questionaires that can examine your likes and aptitudes. I would suggest taking one or more of those. I would also take a look back at things you have investigated when you were younger. Were you always taking apart your bike or your radio? When you walk through your school do you wonder how they bolted it together or how they ran the wiring and what might it connect to out back? This is one of the hardest decisions you will make in life and you want to as right as you can. If you pick a career you really like, you will never work a day in your life. Someone will pay you to perform your hobby.
I took and received a degree in EET. I was good with my hands and found it easy to fix certain things but I needed more tools to analyze circuitry and electrical problems. I needed to understand why RF acts differently than audio and why certain real world issues needed to be overcome in order to preserve video and broadcast signals to your house. Along the way I have met some great people in both fields. My son is a ME working at UL.
