Please God... not MSU. Anywhere but MSU. I lost six months of my life in that hellhole. Anywhere but MSU. *Shudders*
Astronomy / astrophysics could be fun now that we have both serious telescopes and processing power for interesting simulations. A minor in computer science would help with the simulation side.
Starkville is a sh!thole Redneck polluted vicious place. Nothing there and no cold beer allowed. Dry campus as well. I digress... Jackson is much better. Have you thought of AU, UAB, or UA?
I'm not sure if I agree with the people that are saying that EE degrees are useless. That's the first time I've heard that.
Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are pretty good since they're pretty wide fields.
An engineering degree is like a license to learn. You're not going to be some omnipotent engineering-knowledge god straight out of college. Having one means that you have the ability to learn new material on the job

You said you are smart enough to do any of those, but you didn't say that you like any of them... Consider that.
Auburn is OK. It actually has a ranking in its graduate engineering program as opposed to UAB or UA.

Their Physics grad school ranking is 70 (maybe that reflects undergrad program, too).
p.s. if you need any grad school rankings & info (maybe it'll help you choose an undergrad institution based on the grad reputation), let me know! I'm still subscribed to the US News rankings.

Nah, I don't think it's on a 1-100 scale. Basically the best-ranked are 1 and the list goes upward from there. The departments of many schools aren't even ranked though. Like in overall engineering graduate schools, University of Alabama, UA-Birmingham, UA-Huntsville, LSU, etc. are not even ranked while Auburn, MSU, and others are. US News only ranked about 80 or so engineering graduate schools. That doesn't mean that the lower ranked or unranked ones are junk... it's just up to your own opinion what the rankings mean

Well, I moved a lot...
Born 1982: Baton Rouge
1982-1984: Biloxi, MS
1984-1988: Agricola, MS (about an hour from Biloxi)
1988-1989: Marshall, TX
1989: Slidell, LA
1989: Biloxi, MS
1989-1990: Agricola, MS
1990-1992: Oil City, LA (about 20 miles north of Shreveport)
1992-1993: Biloxi, MS
1993-1995: Oil City, LA
1995-1998: Biloxi, MS (Graduated from HS)
I've also lived in Indianapolis and now I'm in Bedford, IN about 70 miles south of Indy. I guess I'm *from* Biloxi, MS.
Edit: All of the majors I listed above interest me. I wouldn't consider them overly hard for me. Something very difficult for me would be business, literature, etc.
from what ive seen math and physics degrees are VERY versatile... and after your first job your degree really doesnt matter much anyways . my friends mom is an EE but now shes one of the heads of the marketing department for local dallas business
