I would choose engineering because I feel that it is a great fit for me since I am the type of person who likes to design and solve problems in the most efficient way. Engineers try to design solutions that make work easier and spend extensive amounts of time trying to come up with a better idea than the previous one. Scientists are more dedicated to research and this can be risky as your endeavors may not lead to something insightful or innovative. Scientists have to constantly experiment and practice designing setups and many times they do not lead to good results. Furthermore, engineers can may a great deal more money than scientists. Scientists typically spend a great deal of time in labs, which is something that I do not wish to do as it will hurt those people in the long run since they typically do not deal with people. Dealing with people is an essential skill to have and working as an engineer allows you to practice working with people, which is essential in many aspects of life.
