<p>I'm a freshman at a university right now, trying to decide on a degree and career path for myself. I'm very interested in physics and math and hopefully in EE things (I really enjoy the electricity and magnetism of physics 2 but haven't had a real circuits class or anything). The reason that I don't just do straight up physics is partially because of my interest in computers but mostly because I don't see the life of a professor as being the most enjoyable thing.</p>
<p>My advisor suggested that with my interests I might enjoy our school's physics for engineering program, which basically amounts to a degree that would be half physics and half computer engineering; what I'd get at graduation would be a B.S. in physics with a minor in computer science (and probably another minor in math just for my own fun). From there I think I'd like to go to grad school (Ph.D.? M.S.?) in computer engineering. How viable of an option do you think this is? Would I have much of a disadvantage in grad school admissions or jobs or anything if i took this route instead of the Bachelors of CompE degree in undergrad? Thanks for any opinions.</p>
