I am a future student in Michigan. I am looking to go to a community college for my associate's degree. The programs I am thinking about are Electrical Engineering Technology, Electro-mechanical Technology, or Mechatronics. I am wondering which has the best outlook and where it would be easier for me to find a well paying job, I admit the mechatronics sounds interesting but I am not sure where I could use that, or if it is even an asset as only an associates. I am very mechanically inclined and I have worked with robots in the past calibrating and light programming.
