Hello. I’m sure that this question has already has been asked, and if so, I would highly appreciate it if someone would link it to this thread.

I’m torn between choosing a career of experimental physics or of engineering, and I’m wondering if there is any possibility of doing both. I have nothing against the theoretical of physics side of course, but I don’t feel as if that is my ideal line of work.

I’m not even sure if this is a rational thought so, I would very much like for you to give your experience, thoughts, or anything else that could be considered helpful to this matter. Thanks.
