Physics, or engineering, or some mix? What do you say? I'm so ready to flip a coin.
I have a friend with a 180 IQ and a philo degree from a great school, who says I run circles around him, despite my bottom of the state high school education and terrible learning disabilities/reading problems. I have a LOT of creativity and ingenuity. Grew up a math wiz and an artist. Etc etc. I have more raw intuition than I know what to do with - I have epiphanies and realizations several times per hour, and tend to just "know".
Anyways, aside from sounding like an arrogant fool, the point of that was for me to say, I have no doubts I could handle and have fun with the learning of physics, but,
would my creativity and strong drive to innovate be wasted after school, if I went pure physics?
Or, a more effective question would be, how likely/difficult is it for someone to get into a position where they are mostly "thinkers", innovating, observing, and using their imagination to solve problems? I love figuring out ways to break apart and model interconnecting systems.
Would I be better off with majoring in some sort of engineering? Or perhaps going with applied physics then a grad school for engineering?
Please forgive my ignorance, and arrogance!
Thank you in advance for the advice. :)
