Hello,
I am an incoming freshman this year with plans to hopefully double major in math and physics. I really enjoyed what I’ve learned of both of them in high school and my calculus class was absolutely incredible, but I admit I’m at a loss.
I hope to someday work for a company like Tesla or SpaceX or something really innovative like them, but i feel like they really don’t have a use for a pure science major. I have done a little research and it turns out they have needs for mostly electrical engineers.
I, being the stressed out and angst-ridden person I am, have scheduled my whole 4 year college career to make sure I can complete all requirements for math major and physics major in 4 years, but now i am second guessing everything. I want to have as many opportunities for employment as possible, but I’m afraid I’m doing myself a disservice not going into engineering and pursuing pure sciences.
So I need help.
Can I find a good job that isn’t research or teaching with math and physics? Or should I switch to some sort of engineer to get the most out of my undergraduate career?
Sincerely,
MadEpsilon
