I took Mechanical because I wanted to eliminate chemistry and programming (both super import skills... and I actually learned later that I liked Chem).

Mech is good to learn a variety things. I ended up getting into pipelines professionally, so work as a Pipeline Eng. or Project Eng. as of last week. I work with a lot of Electrical and Mech, with some Civil sprinkled in.

Civil would have been my next choice. I really liked Statics/physics in equilibrium. I think it would be exciting to go to a growing city and work on some massive building.

Use your first year to decide what you really like and dislike. You will succeed much more if you have some enjoyment/passion, rather than pushing through for completion.

Good luck!
