Mechanical vs Software Engineering : Which is BETTER?

A lot of students struggle to choose the "right" engineering major because of many factors. Common ones include the following:
1. You have yet to discover what you like and dislike.
2. There are so many disciplines that overlap and are difficult to understand without the necessary resources and guidance.
3. Your interests lie in a plethora of areas.
4. You are worried about things like job security, salary, etc.

The goal is to help anyone who is having trouble deciding between two very attractive majors - MECHANICAL and SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - and who wants to learn more about these two disciplines.

Excellent review of software and mechanical engineering. I do have regrets of not studying software, but at the same time mechanical is also a rewarding career. The swe income would definitely be nice though😂

I just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I watched this. Your content is top tier sir! I’m thinking going back to school and getting a second bachelor’s in engineering. You’ve help a lot, thank you!

Software doesnt feel rewarding or intuitive at all to me. Its a shame

[Tettzz]

I would definitely choose software engineering. Even though I'm just 15 I have been programming for more than 2 years and enjoyed it so far.
