Hi, I am currently applying to 5 different UK universities to study engineering/MechEng: Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Bristol and Bath.
I really enjoy learning new things and am convinced that this is the subject for me. However, I still wonder if engineering is a good degree to get today in the UK. Wondering if anyone has any insight to help me?
For reference, I would love to work in a science/tech-driven large company, not necessarily as an engineer. I would like to be earning a fair amount of money throughout my career, and would love options outside of science/tech if I decide that I do not want to do that (eg management consulting). How easy is it to be hired as an engineering graduate in a different field, and will my degree really be valued in the UK? What are my chances vs an Economics graduate for example? What do you think about my choice of uni? Thanks
