I need a down-to earth talk about life as an engineering student.

<p>^ Personally I felt that the assertion that physics graduates don’t make good money isn’t true.</p>

<p>Well it’s right when they say people who close themselves in a room for years to write down the equation of e = mc^2 LMAO jkjk. His publications already made him famous and rich already. </p>

<p>You should do what you enjoy because you will make more money that way. Give a thought. I will pay you $60/h to stand outside for 15 hours with your underwear on. Will you take it? Probably not even if you are in a big debt.</p>

<p>Well even if you do you won’t enjoy it. You get stress out and you may become an insane person. The logic is that when you do something that you enjoy, you will perform with your full potential, and this may bring you a lot of motivations, thoughts, and innovations. </p>

<p>Many physics graduate move on to business and financial sectors.
Physics graduates are very easy to integrate themselves in other fields. In engineering, you literally do everything with physics. You can earn a B.S. in physics, and study ME, EE, BME in graduate school.</p>

<p>Don’t chemists also make zero money if they just stick their heads in an organic solution, like alcohol? LMAO</p>

<p>In general engineering fields open more potential employments. Traditional disciplines like electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and civil engineering are probably the most “secure” in job outlook. These disciplines are best friends with physics and chemistry.</p>

<p>Unless your prospect career path is academia, money would not be your concern (although you get money from patent, inventions, and research).</p>
