Go to grad school you fool.

Going to college today is as effective as high school 40 years ago. All it does is give you the opportunity to get a job. Go to grad school for 2 years and earn more money in engineering, or 6-8 years and get a PhD and be totally pimp (takes much more dedication, it sounds like you want to get out into the work force).

It's only 2 more years of hard work, but your salary should have a good increase. If you really badly don't want to do that, then find a company where you'll be happiest regardless of salary. Money doesn't make up for a $hitty job.

I don't know how much those all relate. In certain positions you may be called on for knowledge of such a range of topics, but its generally better to specialize in something you are very good with as well as enjoy. Like I don't see how studying the electrical sides of things in physics helps against the mechanical engineering (sure its good for EEs to know about mechanics, as well as MEs to know basic circuitry, but still), plus the math doesn't really matter much unless you are doing hardcore research with math which would require a math major and finally I don't get how CS fits in to that. EEs do some programming but I doubt MEs do (correct me if I'm wrong) and pretty much anyone doing a tech job is expected to have decent computer skills but just using a comp isn't CS.

So I say look for a job and if nothing is coming up go to grad school on something to focus on.

Finite Element Analysis is pretty much all programming.

talyn00 id prefer to work in the private sector on something practical deff not research

alphatarget1 i can type a pretty damn good paper, even formal scientific ones. the spelling is the only thing that i suck at with regards to communicating. the money is a large factor for me. ill enjoy mostly anything in the scientific relm but im not spending assloads of $ on college to be broke afterwards. i want to be decently well off.

What year are you? Have you done any internships? As long as you proofread your stuff you should be ok.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think ME is pretty bad right now. If you could work for like, NASA or something it'd be cool. I'd think your potential employers would be pretty impressed by your double major, I think it could really come in handy. What did you focus on when you did Physics? What about ME?

in physics im focusing on the electrical side of it but its pretty broad in the undergrad courses. a grad degree would take another 7 yrs and thats WAY too long for me. i start my E classes this summer at a different school. so ill have 2 degrees from 2 different schools. (my present school doesnt have any E programs) i could always go EE but wanna get some feedback first.

internships are a different story. i honestly dont have any idea where to look.

Masters degree takes 2 years about. Your school should have some career placement office or something, start there.

Worry about finishing the next 3 years before salary

i know a masters in physics isnt really worth much but a PhD is worth alot. Is it the same for MC?
