POLL: What Should I major in?

[dude8604]

I was thinking about majoring in Computer or Electrical Engineering, but have been thinking about aeronautical engineering lately. What will the job market be like in 4 years? Are there many near the San Francisco Bay Area? Is this a region-specific field, or can I find a job in that field anywhere. I was also thinking of Communication Engineering. What exactly is it? Is it just a branch of Electrical Engineering? Thanks. By the way, I'm probably going to UC Davis.

Also, what's the difference between aerospace and aeronautical engineering or is there one?

Some great suggestions so far. Have you ever thought of being a professional body builder?

It depends on what particular field you enter. You can specialize in the semiconductor area of EE, and then you can only work in specific places that have that industry (if you want to enter that industry... it's not like you really specialize to much as an undergrad or even stuck somewhere if you specialize). If you specialize in signal processing, it might be in more regions.

I'd guess communication engineering is a branch of EE specializing in signal processing. I'm not really sure though.
