I know the feeling!  My grandson is wrapping up what is effectively his 2d year of an ME program.  It's a 5 year program so he has a long way to go.  Then there is grad school...  I told him that BS degrees are pretty common around Silicon Valley and if he wants to stand out, get an MS in something.  Or an MBA if he would rather be a manager than an engineer (typically pays better).  An MBA with an engineering undergrad should land him a job somewhere!  Or even an MSES (Engineering Science - kind of a generalist program).

He has a little less than no interest in electronics or programming.  The programming thing changed a little bit as he wandered through a MATLAB course this semester and I think he began to understand and appreciate the thought process behind problem solving in code.  We'll see...

If he wants to be a manager at all, make sure he gets the technical skills too. Managers who have no clue about how things work "in the trenches" are the worst. IMO the ideal technical manager is someone you could replace one of the engineers with and not notice the difference. [edit] that's not to say that everyone with the technical background makes a great manager...that is certainly not true!

BSME
MSES
MBA

In that order - technical stuff first.  There's a LONG way to go.  We'll see...

Congratulations to you and your son!

Yeah! Deal with it.
