AE's build weapons, CE's build targets, ME"s build the machines that go inside the target, and IE's chose what color to paint the machines. Agree go the full engineering degree, not a "technology" degree. IMHO, ME gives you the most options, from actually designing or building stuff to selling it (where the real money is). Amazing to me that petroleum engineering is still the highest paying entry job, as it was 36 years ago when I started. AE, ME, CE (civil or chem,) is money in the bank. Computer engineering and similar is boom town but I tell kids you're competing with half a billion foreign kids that want it worse than you, and that job can often be done anywhere, not just in the US of A. Real engineers code to solve problems they're working on, coding for a living is a job, not an adventure. But it's a great time to be any sort of engineer so follow your passion. Big generation gap in my AO these days, so just gonna get better.
