At the end of the day, mechanical engineers are the upper class citizens of STEM.
>Learn object oriented programming on YouTube.
>Learn electronics with arduino and raspberry pi tutorials
>Build circuits as a hobby
>Possess a strong foundation in real/classical engineering topics (fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, mechanics, etc.) which can easily be extended to:
>Electives in advanced physics (quantum, stat mech, etc.) for fun
We can specialize in anything, and our rigorous and strong foundation ultimately leaves us in a better place.
Just look at the MechE research topics at advanced institutions, you'll see that it's basically applied physics/math. These badasses understand the theory AND the application better than anyone.

Can anyone become a chad Mechanical engineer? What IQ do you need? What height, looks, and muscle mass do you need?
