    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    Yeah I'm planning to apply to systems engineering jobs I hear that's a possibility for physics majors. I'm hoping to just get a job so I don't have to go to school right away I'd like to make some money and time off from school and just go back if I need to.

    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    Thanks. Yeah I'm probably going to have to spend 2 more years in school and continue on to a MS in aerospace engineering and apply for aerospace engineering positions afterward.

    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    I'm probably just going to go get my masters in aeronautical engineering actually since it's always been my favorite type of engineering. Unless I get a good engineering job offer somewhere right out of UCLA.

    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    Just had to do some data acquisition, soldering, circuitry, and write a report on what I did all under the supervision of an electrical engineer. I can get recommendations or references whenever I want but I've already applied for some mechanical engineering positions and internships and I get...

    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    Well, I mean I don't really have any engineering relevant skills that a normal engineering major doesn't have and more. I understand the fundamental physics principles and theory better in general, but that's not going to get me the job. It's like I'm a handicapped engineer lol. But my concern...

    Engineering BS in Physics to Engineering Career

    So I am about to finish my BS in physics from UCLA (University of California Los Angeles). I do not want to be a physicist anymore. I am wanting to get into the engineering field for a living and realize it is hard to break in with a physics BS. I also realize that if I get a masters in...
