I am a 4/c navy option midshipman and I am having second guesses about my mechanical engineering major. I am decent at the math, but am not particularly drawn into the upper division topics (statics, materials, thermals, blech). My reasons for choosing the major are more extrinsic and related the careers associated with it. Being a pilot is my goal above anything else, and after that I'm considering branching into things like being a test pilot or engineer with the navy.
How much does undergraduate degree matter? I'm interested in working in the field of engineering in the future, but can I pursue a less stressful bachelor's and get a master's in engineering before going into that field?
Is a career path of pilot --> test pilot --> engineer feasible without doing engineering undergrad? Side note: this is all very flexible and I know my career path won't be entirely up to me, I'm just putting these things out there as hypotheticals.
