<p>is it possible to get engineering internships or internships in general for some one going into engineering but majoring in physics</p>
<p>I know of several people who have masters degrees in physics working as engineers. So I would assume that it's possible.</p>
<p>IT IS POSSIBLE!</p>
<p>my uncle's major was Phyisics, but now he is working as a software engineering at one of the biggest biotech comp in the world with salary over 150k (he already has over 10 years experiment by the way)</p>

<p>oya, he already has over 10 years experiment by the way</p>

<p>Well, I don't know that software is the best example, because the fact of the matter is that you don't even really need a degree at all to be successful in software. Look at Bill Gates and Larry Ellison - software billionaires who never graduated from college. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, dropped out of Harvard. Wayne Rosing, former VP of Engineering at Google, never graduated from college. Justin Frankel, inventor of Gnutella (which is the basis of Limewire, Morpheus, and Bearshare), dropped out of the University of Utah. Shawn Fanning, creator of the original Napster, dropped out of Northeastern.</p>
<p>Yeah, software engineering probably has the most non-CS majors than any other engineering area...when comparing "supposedly" relevant degrees.</p>
<p>I think out of the 40 people in my work area...only 5 were C.S. majors. The rest were I.S./M.I.S (which I do not consider CS), EE, Physics, Business or Math (like myself).</p>
