I did a BSc in mechanical with a minor in petroleum. Went back and did a masters in business.

Worked as a petroleum engineer for about 8 years and then went into business for myself doing manufacturing, HVAC and "financial engineering" (acquisitions). The mechanical degree has been very versatile, and has even allowed me to work on a nuclear energy start up.

What I can say is to enjoy your time at school. See other parts of the campus, join clubs, do engineering competitions to see other campuses entirely. Consider and exchange andost DEFINETLY get that work experience. Lots of good employers will train you up anyways, an engineering degree is a strong indication that you're a good learner... Once you're in the workforce and start doing... Your major starts to mean less and less.

I'll add... Consider the area you'd like to live in and maybe even a dream employer. Maybe you want to be qualified to get a masters in some field at a dream school... That might make you strategically consider your major and what GPA to work for.
