How much does my degree dictate my career path?

Not at all. Having degree in this field means you have patience, math and logical skills and some knowledge about machines.

It is mostly just a ticket to open doors to companies you wouldnt be able to get in otherwise. The rest is up to you.

Apply to as many jobs as you can. Try to get intership in some company even when in school.

Engineering don't mean shit. I'm an electrical engineer and I do mechanical, structural engineering along with program management at my job.

It's literally nothing but a ticket to get a good paying job and says that you're not a retard that's patient and has logical skills.

Thank christ...I already caught on how much bull shit college was. Y'all just reinforced my feelings toward this shit. Sucks to know that I could have been taking classes that I would have enjoyed way more but fuck it I am almost done with this garbage and honestly I just wanna get to work.

Frame of reference: Engineering tech at my college teaches you classes about foundry, welding and CAD.

Industrial engineering fucking teaches me bull shit about stat, facility layouts, quality control and linear programming. Its good to be able to talk business with people but I have hated the classes I had taken for the last 2 years.

Just go for mechanical or electrical engineering. This will give you maximum flexibility.

1. Uni doesn't offer it.
2. Senior year and on my way out. Already finished with my senior project.

I was asking the question in the OP to see how viable it was to work somewhere not exactly what my degree entailed because I am locked in at the moment. It looks like that will be the case though from these first 2 posts.
