But Mechanical Engineers don't get the most fun jobs. A lot of air conditioning/ heating system design/maintenance work out there. Seems pretty boring to me.

This all depends. Yes there are a lot of HVAC jobs out there, but there are also a lot of very cool jobs out there for a good ME. You're describing the 'problem' that MEs have a very large range of knowledge that's applicable to a very large range of jobs. Less qualified people get less desireable jobs. It all depends on you.
