I love the idea of becoming an engineer cause im great with math and love science and physics and all that kind of stuff. but im hung up on what type I should do, any help would be great. my uncle keeps telling me i should get into biomedical because its the wave of the future. I love computers, and things I can see and build with my own hands. The theoritical world is intresting as well. I would love to be involved in some cool research and be reading about myself in popular science someday but I dont know what kind of engineering to get into, the main ones im looking at are, biomedical, mechanical, electrical, aerospace, and maybe computer(prob not). Any helpful tips that would make it easier for my decision would be awesome.

From where are you ? In America, some schools offer Systems Engineering. How about that?

For research opportunities, physics would probably be a better option than engineering. For employment, physics, electrical engineering, and aerospace engineering are all great. I work for an aerospace company and when the time for layoffs come around, it is often the mechanical engineers who get hit the hardest. Computer sciences are quite impacted and are not as adaptable as those with physics and engineering degrees (meaning more likely to get laid off and more likely to start at a lower salary). You have the right idea, you need to do what you love. If you don't you will never put forth the effort necessary to become really good at it.

Choose aerospace. Who knows you will be the first man to invent crash free and fire proof spaceship.
