/sci/ - Science & Math

I don't know what to do with my life.

I'm currently in college (UK). I've looked at doing an MSci Physics degree and also at doing an Electronic and Engineering degree.

As of present, my passion is with Physics, I would love to do Physics as my University degree, however, what would I do in life with said Physics degree? I asked my Physics teacher and he said, "With a Physics degree, you could become a teacher or a banker or work anywhere in the financial business." He didn't even mention working AS A PHYSICIST.

Is it me or have I got my ideas wrong about doing a Physics degree then becoming a Physicist? Is that not how it works?

However, I'm told repeatedly that Engineering in the UK is big business, if you do an engineering degree of any sort, you will become and engineer and not some other profession of no relation. I've also been told time after time that they're undersubscribed and highly paid.

Anyone got any advice for someone in my position?
Thanks /sci/.
