I am going to study physics in university. I am on a science course in a collage in europe. But I have always loved technology and machines and inventing. So are there any people that go study physics and than go into engineering after that? Or would it take too long. If I had to choose I would choose physics. But i want to learn both. In engineering i would probably focus on robotics and weapons. I am planning to go study in usa, germany or france.

I have always tought of physics as something where you discover but engineering where you create, I want to do both:D. Is it a good idea?
