For the most part, it is boring, but it pays well enough that you can afford to do things that aren't boring. However, engineers have to take a LOT of math in school and other classes that use a LOT of math...and when you've graduated and are an engineer, you never do the math. Engineering studies are not easy, and if you stick with it, it is a LOT of homework.
I can give a bit of college advice since I've been in college since 1997:
Figure out what you like to do and what you're good at and pick a college major based on that. Many if not most college students change majors once or twice, and that's okay. For the first 2 years of college, almost everyone takes the same stuff anyhow, so the credits will transfer between programs.
Speaking of the first two years of college, you get a better quality education for those basic classes at a much cheaper price at a junior or community college, plus it's a nice transition from high school to college. Being 18 and walking into Chem 101 in a lecture hall with 500 students can be overwhelming for some students. If you get those 2 years done at a small college, you might have a good idea what your major will be, and when you get to a proper University, you're taking classes that are directly related to your major, not intro classes taught by graduate students who can't speak English.
