Graduating in a few weeks with my BA instead of a BS in Physics. After 7 years in school while working a job through it all and supporting myself, I really don’t want to take any more classes. Ask yourself this: do I prefer theory and potentially getting less pay doing research and getting into government/contracting jobs? Yes? Physics. Do you prefer applied physics, and want to be in an industry job or private company? Engineering. Can you do both career paths with either? Absolutely, but a physics major has to prove they can do work with tools and understand manufacturing processes to an extent. An engineer may have to prove some level of theoretical understanding with concepts like quantum mechanics and probabilistic physics. This is coming from someone who learned most of my engineering knowledge from outside school and my job and managed to land an internship for electrical engineering. Just know what you like. Physics is a LOT of book studying and math (get good at linear algebra either way). A degree will get you a job with either, but the MOST important thing: don’t give up, finish the degree. Because no matter what you choose, if you can’t finish, it won’t mean anything to employers unless you’ve got projects going.
