Is mechanical engineering a good choice ?

For context i refused eee in a tier upper tier2 cllg for a mech in tier1 govt college

I did bcz ;

1. The tier2 cllg eee placements were in 4 lpa range and many them pushed to cse tht too cse intake is 2.2 k there so imagine the compitation

2. Fees

Placements stats of my cllg (mech ) are gud and better than cse in some cllg and placement percentage is 96

I do have interest i have started to do research in each I feel gud learning not forced to take mech totally my choice

But when I say anyone I took mech then make faces and just don't really consider me as equal idk 😭😭 they say I have made a huge mistake by leaving eee , since eee has scope and better crowd blah blah

But I literally show them placements scenario they still don't understand and i am starting to loose my confidence

I need to know from someone with real experience to tell me I did i mistake or not

(My cllg is not nit iit it's a top star university I would like to not name it )
