<p>Thanks Shackleford, you really helped out a lot. I probably shouldn’t even post because you did such a great job answering the questions. </p>
<p>A physicist can do engineering jobs, although an engineering job that would eventually need a P.E. (Professional Engineer license) would be off limits for a physicist because you <em>need</em> an undergrad degree in engineering to obtain a P.E. </p>

<p>At your school you can find what the alumni of any degree is doing. At my school they list the “job title” of graduates with each degree. Under physics degree, there are engineers, but not all. If you really want to be an engineer, I’d suggest you do an engineering degree. That, of course, is the most direct route.</p>
