I can only give you my personal opinion on this issue.
I think that too many people are focused on electronics, and this fact will lead to lower wages, higher competition for the job in this area. We cant all be administrators, webdesigners etc.
I believe that mechanical is an area which is being overlooked. there will be an increased demand on mechanical automated processes.
Im not aware of what you have studied so far, and hence i dont know if you have a computer background or not.
if you mean a direct an only mechanical education, you should be able to a job at allmost any time, since mechanical items WILL break down. You should be able to do quite a bit of moonlighting (non taxed work, please notice that this is *illegal*
) .
If you get a purely electronic job things look abit different, at present you should be able to get a job, but the competition will increase. At present i believe that the wages are higher within this area, but im uncertain.
If you are not to fond of sitting in front of your computer all day, then aim for the mechanical area. Im a programmer and sitting inside staring at your screen all day isnt always funny, and really like my job, on the other hand you will have to accept getting a bit more dirty during your work hours.
If you have a computer background then these to things come a bit closer, but i would personally prefer the mechanical way if i was to decide my educational direction today.
Please notice that im located in denmark europe, and that there may be HUGE differences in demand pay levels etc.
One more thing to say: your major will most likely affect how your proffesional life will progress. you may end up studying something that you find funny as a hobby but not as a FULL TIME job.
Best of luck to You
