So, I'm majoring in mechanical engineering, mostly because I enjoy math and physics, and was told my focus in physics would get me nowhere, and that I'd have to go after engineering if I really wanted to work. That's what I'm doing. However, I want to go into an area of engineering, or focus...

From what I can tell, I have the option of choosing computer engineering classes when I get to a particular math. Right now I'm taking CIS 201 (I think, though the number could be off). It's basically the second part of CIS. I'm very interested in the physics engineering courses though. Some...

You might want to continue searching in my area. Jobs are flowing here.

Absolutely. That's what I'm doing now. Furthermore, I won't need four years. I've already managed to acquire 42 credit hours, some of which won't count because they are in a different major program of study, but most of them will.

Here is one example in my area. Notice the major is interchangeable and doesn't matter whether you have an engineering degree, math degree, or physics degree. https://ngc.taleo.net/careersection/ngc_pro/jobdetail.ftl?job=401131&src=JB-10200 Also, I've have heard before that when you have an...

The issue here is Adams is a cartoon author. More importantly, however, I claimed to be a realist; the one that weighs the scale evenly with a combination of common sense and intelligibility. I would say this is the fair approach. nri, I appreciate your approach. You're not only honest but...

ZapperZ, I don't think you said anything too negative, but as a collective source of feedback, all I got was a pessimist view and a condescending attitude that was clearly not necessary. This was clear by Student110's comment calling another poster out on it, so it's not like I'm making this...

I don't have a degree right now. I work and take care of my family as well as go to school. Is it hard? Of course. As I stated already, I'm ready for the challenge. I've seen women work three jobs, bud, just to get by. I've seen kids in other countries starve, and still work. I've seen...

No, I actually did come here for sound advice based on a fair approach, not a completely negative and condescending view that makes for bad conversation. Big difference. Maybe it's not those asking about the major but the person answering.

Well, I made it clear that I was open to where-ever my path leads me. Ultimately, I *want to do theoretical physics, but it's not what I'll be doing with a bachelor's, that's for sure. And I'll need to start working when I get my bachelor's in some paying field where I can utilize my knowledge...

Bander, I appreciate your input. And no apology necessary, you're quite right. There are variables here that this community doesn't know about, that would, otherwise known, reveal their error and misperception about me. What I've accumulated over the years is experience in the real world...

Student, I appreciate your class and fair honesty. I don't think this forum has been all that helpful, aside from offering a strange set of opinions to someone that is honestly seeking both positive and negative advice. I was offered only negative results with absolutely zero room for hope...

Well, the way I understand it is that physics majors can do engineering jobs, whereas engineers cannot do the jobs of physicist. Also, a physics degree can be lucrative and adapt to many professions. Post hoc fallacy. Me having a family has zero effect on my getting a degree. Before...

Thanks. I find it insightful.
