Lets see, there is:

Industrial-
Chemical-
Electrical-
Computer-
Mechanical-
Aerospace-
Biology-
(give me a run down on this because i think i want to switch to it)

I am in chemical engineering right now with 21 hours of college done. However, I am still not 100% sure I want to stick with this, could someone give me a run down?

I;m not worried about that, I think I want to switch to biology and go to med school, which would be harder than any of those.

I'm double majoring in computer engineering/computer science..

computer engineering is the same as electrical engineering for the first two years, then they sort of go their separate ways (at least at my college). Lots of circuit analysis, plus a decent amount of programming required for comp eng..a lot of my friends couldn't handle the programming, so they dropped to electrical engineering, and the ones that couldn't handle circuit analysis/etc dropped to computer science...

I'm not sure what specific questions you have about EE/CE, but it was pretty hard (for me, at least). I had friends though who thought it was cake, so....
