[Talking about american university] It's wierd. I'm not entirely lost as to what I wanna do. I know I want to do some kind of engineering (maybe urban affairs if I go crazy), but idk what I want to do specifically. Currently I'm tagged as Civil, but I've only done a couple classes exclusive to civil so I can still change it.

Honestly, I want to work in automation (i.e, making those dark factories in china that have been posted here on Lemmy [not that specifically but the same idea]) but people are not very helpful as to how likely I could do something like that or what degree I should get in relation to that.

My main 4 rn are civil, mechanical, electrical and industrial (although industrial is harder because id have to transfer universities). So anyway, just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience relating to this and wants to give any advice, and people here are usually not as judgemental as they are on reddit and this requires less commitment than scheduling an advisor appointment.Thank you in advance

My father got a doctorate in mechanical engineering and was able to go far with it. He made a very nice career for himself. He spent his whole life developing ideas and obtained several patents in the process. Good luck with your education and career.
