I'm currently a senior in HS and am interested in going into robotics as a career, but majoring in robotics specifically is risky because it could leave me with a limited amount of job possibilities. I was originally thinking of majoring in EE, but am now veering more towards either MechE or CS since I'm interested in both the design and the programming aspect of robotics. However, I'm having trouble choosing between the two because I would be happy in either of those aspects (although maybe a little bit more in design).
In terms of job prospects within the robotics field (and in general too in case I'm no longer interested in robotics in the future), which is better?
Also, I have heard that it is harder to switch into CS than it is to switch out into an engineering major - how true is this in general (I can provide a list of colleges I'm applying to if that would be useful)? If that's true I might just apply for CS and switch once in college if I feel MechE is better for me.
Thank you!
