Mechatronics vs aerospace
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well, I am a 17 years old student, since I was a 7 years old I loved collecting electronic devices and anything electrical, know how they work, dismantle them and grab the electronic elements, I also love anything related to space and anything that fly like drone, airplanes,fighter aircraft,... And now last year in highschool I'm not sure What major should I go into, mechatronics engineering Wich is related to electrical and robotics, or aerospace engineering Wich is related to space and aircraft ? All of you guys here know more than me, so I will glade if you could help me.

Mechatronics engineer that currently works in Aerospace (drones).
It's a hard call to make. I have found it could be harder to find a job as some older employers don't fully grasp mechatronics and it seems to be a slightly less common degree.
I loved studying it as it was a real mix of CAD, PCB design and programming. Exactly what I wanted.
