Should I consider double majoring in physics and engineering?

[Meron]

I'm currently a class 12 student in a CBSE affiliated school. I'm very much interested in physics and maths, and I'm very strong in both. I want to become a physicist, but I also want to have financial stability. Is the physics and engg combination a good one? If not, please suggest me other combinations.

Thank you.

P.S. : I am not very interested in computers.

Are you interested in discovering new science or applying existing science?

 

[Meron]

Yes, very much.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Yes, very much.

It wasn't a yes/no question :)

OH, sorry!
I'm interested in discovering new science, I am more interested in studying about the universe and related stuff.

Then stick with pure physics and if you want a challenge then double major in math.

Thank you Gref Bernhardt. But do you think that becoming a physicist will ensure financial stability?

 

[Meron]

And will double majoring affect my GPA?

There is no certainty in anything, but if you work hard, you'll improve your chances.

And will double majoring affect my GPA?

It's more work and hard work. Depends on your work ethics and natural skill level.
