Aerospace engineering vs. physics degree.
What would you choose and why?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:02:54 2011 No.3000312 Physics, because more choices. If you still care about engineering afterwards then go into it.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:03:54 2011 No.3000316 If you're going to do engineering, do Mechanical for your undergrad because it's more versatile. Then do an M.S or whatever in Aerospace afterwards (that's what I did).

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:05:54 2011 No.3000324 Aerospace involves A LOT of physics. fuck some of you are retarded

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:06:54 2011 No.3000325 >>3000318 >implying you cannot move from physics into engineering

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:08:54 2011 No.3000335 >>3000318 I know this is a troll but I'm kinda worried about this matter. I mean, what kind of jobs could I apply for if I get a physics degree?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:10:54 2011 No.3000338 >>3000335 actually he/she is being dead serious. there are a minute amount of job opportunities for people with PhD's in Physics. You can only get research jobs with shit pay. Or even a teaching job.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:13:54 2011 No.3000349 Most physicists (SOCAL) wind up working as code monkeys or doing the job of an an engineer. A four year degree in physics is not a big deal. Major in engineering and double major/minor in physics.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:16:54 2011 No.3000352 >>3000338 >You can only get research jobs with shit pay Who does a PhD in physics without intending to go into research? Industrial research is bro tier. Government-funded research pays like shit.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:48:54 2011 No.3000443 >>3000349 Yeah, a physics degree is not as marketable as an engineering degree. Srs, most people should major in engineering, esp. in this economy.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 5 10:52:54 2011 No.3000455 BSc in physics is useless. Only go for physics if you intend on getting a phd. Do aerospace if physics is too easy and you want to learn something useful
