I'm very interested in the Engineering Physics major, however I'm not sure what people with this degree do after university.

I've heard that a large portion of people who graduate from Engineering Physics go on to study a master's on either Engineering or Physics. Is thus true? Would Engineering Physics allow me to pursue further education in either field? Or would studying "half and half" limit what I can study in gradschool?

If I don't go on to seek further education, what is the main purpose of the career as a whole? What can I do with just the degree?

I know it varies from school to school, but I was hoping I could get some general information.

Thanks!
