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.

Do not go into ocean engineering. It is so dead.
