I was wondering if any of you more experienced people might be able to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research but nothing beats actual experience.

Im just finishing up my AA this semester and am about to transfer to a university. I eventually want to work in aero/astrospace engineering (hopefully astrospace), so aerospace seems to be a good place to start. I was wondering what dual major would go best with it. I was thinking physics because it seems useful and it has always been my favorite, but mechanical engineering also seems like it would be pretty useful. I absolutely plan on taking whichever two I select to the doctorate level so if you have a specialization in mind, please feel free. Thanks! I appreciate your help.

Also, I might do electrical engineering (undergrad only) at some point to satisfy my hobbying.

I should point out I don't want to do a double major to look good on a resume or a grad school application they all just seem like they would be really useful for what I want to do.
