bovertime and sax - That is exactly what I’m think. That pay difference is huge. Especially since I’m sure we are going to borrow some money for his education. No idea about how much at the moment. I’m afraid like sax’s child. He’s all I want to by a physicist now and go grad route. But what if he gets sick and doesn’t have anything to fall back on. >.< I’m super confused.

ucb - You can’t compare it to MIT they are not typical of other schools. But yes that makes me feel slightly better. But Caltech and MIT you don’t get to declare a major til your sophomore year. I think he would probably be alot more set in his decision by that time.

Hmm with the other replies, I think the dual major degree would be best. But its so hard to do with engineering right? The workload is a little on the extreme side. This will be his first time away and I thnk it’s going to be this crazy distance.
