Freshman ME here, but in an honors/accelerated curriculum, and its kicking my ass right now. The level of physics I'm currently in is absurd, but the math is no biggie and I find the engineering courses easy, and am now straying away from ME. I will likely be changing my major to Welding Engineering, as I will be building drag/dirt car chassis for a living, and my school is currently the only one in north america in which you'll be a certified welder upon graduation.
Engineering does sound enticing at first, but if I didn't feel it necessary to have a degree as a backup plan, I would have been much happier going to trade school, or pursuing work directly after high school.
