Which subcatergory of Mechanical Engineering would you recommend after undergrad-graduation and into a masters program??

I have 3 more semesters until i go onto a graduate program. But it dawned on me that i dont know what type of engineer i want to be. Im pursuing a Mech. Engin. Technology undergraduate major and then a Technology Masters, both at Kent State. I have a passion for working with my hands and creating things amd watching them come to life.
