What does an engineer's job really entail?

[unknown18]

Hi
I'm starting university soon and I'm not really sure what I want to do.
I have been wondering whether to take up engineering as a profession as I'm interested in electrical/electronic aspects of physics. But I'm not sure what the jobs of engineers really include? Does it involve a lot of designing? What does an electrical/electronic engineer really do?

What is the difference between engineering and say BSc physics? And what kind of jobs do Msc Physicists get?

Sorry for my ignorance but please help!
