Ok, makes sense. Since kid is undecided for major, considering career prospects coming out of a particular major is perhaps a bridge too far looking through the crystal ball, if you all don’t mind mixed metaphors.
I guess, then, my question would be with regard to employment in industry rather than academia (lol no, I have not googled types of jobs that physics majors tend to take).
Secret worry: kid will decide in spring/summer that they want engineering. Seems possible from the safety, so I guess it’s all good, though I should quietly look at the possibility of internal transfer to engineering at the other schools. Possible at some but not others. (Sibling is an engineering major so I have some idea.)
