My father is a bit insane and just had a fit about me being accepted into a few colleges. Instead of being happy, he is livid(screaming and pouting and generally having a tantrum) abut my acceptance into the Mechanical Engineering School, saying how once I graduate, I will be jobless and instead should have opted for the electrical Engineering school or at least a Pre-Med program. (Purdue, SUNY Stony Brook, University of Iowa and University of Pittsburgh)
He is now pissed off to the point that if I choose to enter the mechanical engineering schools, he refuses to support me in any way emotionally or financially, effectively disowning me. He has pulled this stunt before on my brother, who was disowned for a period of time for picking mechanical engineering and had to pay his way through college and currently working his way through a postgraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I am just trying to figure out, how true is it that mechanical engineering is a dying field? Who has entered in mechanical engineering and found a mechanical engineering job?
I'm still probably going to go into the mechanical engineering field despite what he says and I'll pay my way through college and see how it goes but I'm starting to see why my brother went to the school school that was the furthest away from home he got accepted into.
