I'd actively caution anyone from going engineering unless they have solid interest or are aiming for medical/dental/law school. Getting an EIT job even for mechanical and electrical is equivalent in difficulty to junior dev positions for the exact same reasons: Jeet overabundance.Have you considered engineering?
Our universities have this wonderful program called a Masters of Engineering which is entirely course based, professionally certified by the provincial engineering boards, allows you to apply to engineering internships while doing it, and - the real hilarity - doesn't necessarily require you to have an engineering bachelors degree to get in. Unlike the seat restrictions for undergrad and college programs Trudeau implemented these M.Eng programs can take in as many international students as desired and so it's become another avenue for the Jeets to sidestep professional requirements and further shit up our entry level job market. It's bad enough from anecdotal reports that some engineering firms I have friends in have started tacitly rejecting M.Eng. degree holders outright since program cheating is rampant and lacks any of the rigour our bachelor programs have.
