I had studied "traffic engineering / mobility planning" for 2 years, but I behind, catching up was difficult because of a change in curriculum and I bit off more than I could chew regarding training social skills.
Computer science was too abstract for me and applied physics was too broad, plus I have a lifelong fascination with technology, how things, magnets and electricity. Electrical engineering also seems pretty secure for the job market, given the omnipresence of electricity. I like the physical and the digital and electricity is the medium that connects them! The university I chose also has a lot of international students, I like meeting people from other places.
I've often thought about possibly moving to China and work as an engineer there, given recent developments in Europe and China investing heavily in science right now. I do find it scary to just start a new life in another country like that, I do feel pretty attached to the place I grew up in.
Electrical engineering/electrical technicians is highly in demand, I know from several friends that even the teachers would “massage” bad grades to get more people to actually finish their degree/training.
You are right to be scared ...
Every time I moved (I moved a lot because of my dad's job) it was a painful mess.
But I can also not imagine staying in the same place for too long. I start feeling bored.
