1st yr engineer student here. I feel at a crossroad because modern engineering is so removed from pic related and it's all about software/data/etc. Old school shit where you design a machine and build it is fading away. Part of me wants to switch to trade school/vocational school to do something more practical but at the same time, theoretical shit like math etc does fascinate me. However, out of college the jobs are so much more about coding and data which doesn't feel as rewarding to meas seeing the work of your own hands physically .
