For an engineering job, would another bachelors be better than a masters?

Of course you can compete for engineering jobs with a physics degree. You need to sell the employer on your ability to adapt to the job. I know that enlightened employers have no problem with physics majors. They know that you can learn on the job.

<p>This is what Physics departments are telling students to boost enrollment. It is not the case for most employers. Technically you don’t need an engineering degree to have an engineering job if you can sell yourself to an employer. See what i did there. </p>

<p>It is pretty foolish to major in physics especially with the cost of tuition nowadays and think you will undercut engineers who majored in engineering for jobs. </p>
