Hi,

So out of all the things I have studied, I really enjoy Physics, Econ, and Chinese. I feel like it should be a winning combination, and I was wondering what I can do with this? I would love to use my Chinese in some capacity, but I am always willing to give that up. I've been fumbling with the idea of an MBA or a Master's in some sort of Engineering, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I like the idea of Ocean/Aerospace engineering, and generally I am looking to not live in a lab.

Anything at all is useful - anecdotes, personal experience, anything you can tell me. I'm picking courses for next semester soon, and I'd like to have some sort of life plan figured out soon.
