<p>There are too many variables in the job market to make definitive statements like “You wont get an engineering job with a physics degree”. I’ve heard people say they got an engineering job with biology degree. Technical degrees from any spectrum can fulfill engineering roles. I however think that “academia” types are being dishonest and disingenuous in suggesting that employers regard a physics degree as a type of engineering degree. They don’t. Its hard to hear but it’s the truth. </p>
