You should probably major in physics when you go to university.

I'm not really sure what you want people to tell you. We don't have any idea if you will be happier doing a PhD in Math or working as an engineer.

If cost is the biggest factor then it's no contest - UMD all the way. Do anything you can to avoid being saddled with tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt.

What the others are getting at is that typically in high school you aren't going to start your "career" in the sense of a job you'll maintain for 20-30 years. Right now one of the best things you can do, in my opinion, is hold a steady job for a while to show that you're not a flake and try to...

What kind of "flexibility" do you think a physics degree really gets you? If you want to be an aerospace engineer you should probably do that.

Economics for Dummies?

You haven't had to do any hands-on work in your engineering degree up to your 3rd year? :-o
