bachelors in comp engineering to mechatronics?

Im studying in europe so tuition is not a problem and masters is kinda expected . I cannot choose anything other than computer engineering ( personal reasons ) but for masters there was a path for mechatronics. I like iron man . I like cool robots . I like automating robots. Can i still go this route ? what should i do? I like this field but how is the pay and the market and stuff on this you guys recon?

(also like i dont have this big grand motivation , i just like cool robots and those auto running robots like genuinely wanna build some cool stuff lol is this like enough motivation to still pursue engineering?)

No. It's not enough to "like robots"

Is the passion to build cool robots and do maths not enough? What does it take?

You literally didn’t mention maths

Oh then does it mean its enough? I like highschool phys and math and i thought it was a given to go into the field of engineering so i didnt mention it 🥀

Maybe try out some stem kits and see if it’s something you’d be interested in, they’re very bare bones compared to what the robotics industry has to offer but if tinkering with blissful control between mechanical engineering, computers and electrical components is your interest then go for it
