I'm going to be a freshman in the fall. I've already decided that I'm going to be a non-trad when I apply to medical schools and that I will get a "backup" degree in something involved in engineering. I'm stuck deciding between computer science and mechanical engineering. Throughout high school I thought I had it figured out that I was going to be a mechanical engineering. But right after I graduated I had a lot of people in real life, from reddit, from sdn, and other places tell me to consider computer science instead. I'm good with computers, I'm good at science and math, and I could see myself having a fun time with coding. I've noticed starting salary medians tend to be roughly equivalent for CS and ME as well. I've had people tell me there is way more opportunity and potential in employment, business, industry application, and projected growth in computer science. Wondering if there are any other non trads in both of these fields who can give me some guidance and their $.02.
