My 5 best friends from high school all went to UCSB, and are now all mechanical engineers. They all came out of UC after 4 years, made very good money right out of the box, and are all now living comfortably. They have skills that I only wish I had as a car guy, and can pretty much design, and make anything for their projects. 2 work for Lockheed Martin, two for Raytheon, and one for Loral Space Systems.
If I could go back and have a discussion with my 18 yr old self, I'd say get your SH together and either go M.E., or go to UTI.
