Hello people. I recently finished studying mechatronics engineering. I decided to pursue this degree as I wanted to learn about many areas of engineering. When I chose this degree I just could not make up my mind on which side of engineering to follow so I attempted to go after everything.
At the end of university I came to the painful conclusion that trying to learn from several branches of engineering results in learning almost nothing , at least for me. I mean, I learned a lot but not enough to consider myself good at something. Thinking a little bit deeper I realized electronics would be the best subject for me to specialize in, since my first electromagnetism lecture I absolutely loved things that had to do with electrons and its applications, building electronics is also relatively cheap practically speaking, at least here in Mexico.
Sometimes I seriously consider studying electronics engineering, in those moments I almost don't care about the time it would take or the money to invest, I'm just lost in the haze of the fantasy. The problem with this is obviously the two things mentioned before, also, I got a job, it doesn't have much to do with electronics, its more about blackbox testing and therefore I'm learning zero stuff about electronics.
I try to spend my free time reading technical books. I can say I'm really good learning on my own, I'm just not sure if I could ever be as good as a true electronic engineer. I'm not sure what to do, I think my best option would be following a masters degree in electronic engineering, no idea. Any idea would be really appreciated :)
