Thanks for the input rwm4768 and donpacino. Yeah If I don't have time to do a minor in EE then I'll definitely talk to an advisor so I can get the crucial classes I need. Hopefully there arent too many remedial classes if I want to focus on photonics and electromagnetism in EE grad school.
Ah I see, well I wish you luck on finding a job. I wouldn't conclude that it's worthless just yet. Finding a job is usually goes like this "no no no no no no yes no". I am sure you know this already though. I have thought about computer hardware engineering as a possible career before, but...
Okay very interesting thanks for the advice. I have heard quite a few horror stories about just getting a BS in physics as far as getting a highly technical job. If you don't mind me asking, what has it been like for you outside of school in the workforce now? Were there particular industries...
Can you elaborate on why? What have you experienced after school to reach this conclusion? I'm curious. And Grad School was part of my plan so that may change my outlook.
Thanks for input Delta2. I'm going to have to agree with you. If I want the best of both worlds with good employment opportunities Its likely best if I just finish my physics major in 2 years and move on to grad school in EE. Just got to make sure I take all my electives in electronics. Guess I...
CryPhys,
I appreciate your response. It really helps! I have a preference for device engineering, I like learning about the guts of the system, the science behind it, and how to utilize it in certain applications (specifically in optics, photonics, electromagnetics). I'm pretty sure I want to...
RedDelicious,
I appreciate you putting a lot of thought into your response and you do bring up some good points. I'm still majoring in physics at the moment because I have a keen interest in learning the science behind how things work. I've heard having a background in physics is seen as a...
Hi PhysicsForums!
I was hoping I could get some advice on a common issue amongst physics majors. I am currently pursuing a degree in physics and am halfway through my second year. I have really enjoyed it so far, but I have also developed an interest in electrical engineering recently...
