Majors

So i finally got off my rear and applied for federal aid. i've narrowed my schools down to three. and majors also to three. one could become a minor, but what of the third?

on the table is mechanical engineering. on that side, all i want to do is research and design. i don't want to build anything, nor do i want to repair it, just to design.

the next choice i embedded systems engineering. low power, high capacity systems have long been an interest of mine. i would love to build a low cost, low power consumption Desktop that could be powered by alterative means.

the third choice is unix system administration. i've been administering my own boxes for a while and helping to maintain others. plus with paul about to get his network admin certs from SLCC, we've discussed starting a consulting firm together.

so i've got to decide. comments? i'm leaning towards engineering as that is my passion, whereas computers are only my hobby.
