Materials engineering here with a specialty in ceramics and metallurgy. I don't have a degree, but did it the hard way through experience and on the job learning. It took almost 10 years to get to the level of junior engineer. I'll never become a senior or project engineer though. My work is interesting as I work for a major defense contractor.
If I were to do it over again, obviously I would have graduated from college. I wanted to be an aerospace engineer but I quickly realized that job oppurtunities were limited.
I studied mechanical engineering while in college simply for its jack of all trades appeal. Unfortunately finances and family situations precluded my graduation. Tried night school for a while but that's really hard with a wife and kids. My advice to you: any engineering is good, JUST GRADUATE! Good Luck in the future in any endeavour.
