Considering a double degree in physics and aerospace engineering in Australia, which takes six years, raises questions about its value. While some argue that six years is a reasonable investment for such a specialized program, others suggest that a major in engineering with a minor in physics might be more practical, especially for financial reasons. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balancing personal satisfaction with financial outcomes. Engaging in research opportunities across both fields can enhance employability and graduate school prospects. Ultimately, the decision should reflect individual interests in physics versus the desire for a quicker, more financially rewarding path in engineering.
