You mean the kid that takes EVERYTHING to Stazi? 
Seriously, I asked for no BS. Now STFU and go spew oil all over the road, apparently you need to start taking your cars to people that actually know what they are doing.

AAS in CADD
I can run almost all versions of drafting software plus have the machining and technical skills to program/operate CAD/CAM systems.
For the last 8 years I have worked in small to medium size companies where my duties have bled over into industrial engineering, tool design, manufacturing engineering.
I hate math. That is why I'll never be a degreed engineer. I can find most of the answers I need and work with engineers that can guide me if I get confused.

Just remember, the great thing about a mechanical engineering degree, is the process doesn't really teach you how to do a particular job, it teaches you how to think, and how to figure stuff out to make virtually anything mechanical work. I've always felt that someone with an ME degree has the broadest options of any other degree out there.
I agrre completely. This applies to engineering in general, but Mech-E especially. As Rara said, it is more of a thoght procees and a methodical apporach to problem solving.
One piece of advise: pay attention to the process of solving things. Don't focus on remembering every equation. That was a pet peeve of mine...professors who insisted you memorize every equation. In the real world, that isn't important. Understanding the solution path or approach to the problem is important. You can reach to the shelf and grab a text book showing the equation....knowing which one to use...and how to use it is the important part

Very few of life's problems can not be solved with the reasonable application of more horsepower!

4th year Mechanical Engineering student at Marquette University.
I think mechanical is the way you want to go from reading this thread. After I completed all the begging courses that explore all the types of engineering my freshman year I knew that mechanical is the way for me to go. The school you attend will most likely have you take these beginner courses as well.
As an example, I am doing an internship for an industrial engineering company this summer. I do not like what I do, which tells me industrial engineering is not something I want to do. You will have a much better idea of what type of engineering you want to do after your first year.
Good luck

Yes, agree 100%. Only thing is I just learned this at the end of my junior year. Would have made studying and learning much more productive. But instead I was so concerned with even little detail that I missed the big picture.
