Jobs for mechanical engineer not having to do with engines?

I'm currently pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. Before college even started I had chosen it without even knowing what exactly it is that they do. I was good at math and science so I chose an engineering major, and I was told that mechanical was the broadest of all of them. After 2 and a half years of schooling, I've tried to be open to everything, but I really can't see myself working on cars or power plants for the rest of my life without feeling incredibly uninterested. My question is obviously "what kind of other jobs are available to me?" I was thinking, maybe something to do with audio equipment or maybe designing basketball shoes, but I'm not sure if they incorporate enough mechanical engineering principles. Is it possible to get jobs like that with an ME degree? What other types of jobs are there?

A mechanical engineer can work in just about any field they desire, you just have to find the area that interests you and where there are job openings. In my time working as a mechanical engineer, I have had assignments where I was involved in just about all aspects of technical work.

Jobs for a mechanical engineer are not limited to any particular field. As in computer there are two parts - hardware and software. Hardware means which is visible and here mechanical engineer is involved directly or indirectly. Best branch is mechanical because every thing is before eyes and not like hidden electricity.

Mechanical engineers work on just about everything you can imagine, including: building HVAC systems; industrial plant equipment including conveyors, crushers, mixers, dryers, etc.; packaging designs for things like stereo systems, video games, cell phones; mountaineering equipment; and many, many more. As you said yourself, "mechanical engineering is the broadest (engineering discipline) of all of them." Almost nothing gets built, manufactured, or installed without one or more mechanical engineers being involved.
