So it seems like the most popular career choice for physics major is software development, perhaps because of its gigantic industry, but I hate computer programming. I am taking the easiest computer science course at my university, and although I am getting good marks, I hate every bit of weekly assignments. I do understand that many jobs require little bit of programming and that is tolerable or even enjoyable, but if I spend most of my time at work on programming, I will hate my job.
Hence I am looking forward to getting engineering jobs. I mean, I LOVE LABS! I plan on taking almost every single lab courses offered at my university - electronics, optics, nuclear physics, solid state physics etc., amounting to 11 semeter courses.
But then I am like, why don't I just do engineering? Well, at my university, engineering don't get to take many arts electives because of schedule conflict. Plus I have to repeat my entire first year, wasting about $7000.
So my question is, how likely is it for a BSc in Physics (or possibly PhD) with substantial lab experiences to get a job in industry in which I can apply my lab experinces? Is the job prospect as good as that of CS majors or engineering grads?
Thanks a lot in advance! :)
