<p>I got accepted into only BU out of 14 schools. lol. BU let me study aerospace engineering, but I’m also interested in physics. I want to work for NASA or go into academia. I self-studied the two AP Physics C exams last year. I love physics and I am very nerdy. I hate working with other people (unfortunately). </p>
<p>Am I better suited for aerospace engineering or physics?</p>
<p>Physics is a very hard profession to find a job. seriously, I know many undergrdads with those degrees who never found anything ( other than teaching, and several worked at lawrence livermore on interships) Even with a PhD its hard. Areospace not so bad, many more opportunities in private an public sector as well as academia. I had a roommate in college for Aerospace he went to NASA ( Penn State Grad in Aero) My sister had a friend who wnet as well to NASA, he was Imaging engineering at RIT. quick look at the NASA website shows no Physics jobs, and a few Aerospace Eng</p>
<p>I woudl suggest a dual major if physics is that easy for you. Probably you can do it easily many of the same math courses I bet. My son did math with engineering and it was for fun ( 4 extra classes at a top 30 school)</p>
<p>My D and I spent the weekend at BU (and other Boston colleges) and first off, congratulations! Great school. Also, they emphasized over & over how encouraged and supported it is to trade and change majors…you can take a few courses and decide then…one kid went in as an accountant and went out as an archaleologist…</p>

<p>This will hold you back regardless of your career choice. </p>
<p>If you hate working with others, NASA and other big companies you might want to work at isn’t an option. You could be a teacher or a professor for physics but those job openings are hard to find</p>
<p>I have been recommending Math, and stats with a background in programming ( learn a language in your free time like Ruby, python or others.) write this down, BIG DATA , jobs are big money and not enough math majors. Perfect job for an analytic type who does not like to work with others </p>
