Is robotics engineering a meme degree? Would I have better career

If you like programming factory lines, go for robotics.

yes and yes

if you're interested in mechanical aspects, pick up a few mechanical courses
if you're interested in programming, either pick up some of those courses instead or just learn programming on your own

do not double major, do not minor, do not believe people who tell you to take 17 hours in one semester, do not go straight to grad school, do not skip out on internships

The uni I am transferring to just lost their robotics program last semester, but I was going to major in it (software eng now)

Couple things to consider:
You will be more tied down to cities and areas where they're building plants
Robotics is a mix between electrical, mechanical, and software so while your knowledge is going to be spread out you'' have a niche degree and you'll only be specialized for one thing as a whole
It's harder to get into a robotics program on a bachelors level
It doesn't pay as well or have as many jobs as some of the other engineering disciplines (but if you're an engineer you'll be OK no matter what as far as I know)
Pure mechanical, electronic, and software engineers end up working in robotics so for certain projects you might not be so needed since you're spread out

It's still a relatively new field, if you're an engineer you're gonna be OK no matter what but I am happy I started steering towards software engineering because of reasons above
