<p>I've never really shown any interest in exploring how mechanical things work or building things; I've never been taken interest in designing circuits or knowing how car engines work for example. However, designing missiles, satellites, airplanes, robots based on what i've seen in movies has interested me, so I might be suited for aerospace engineering. However, I've enjoted almost all of the math and physics courses (including upperdiv pure math and physics) I've taken. but the physics classes that i disliked the most were labs But I'm pretty sure that I rather go into industry than academia because i'm definitely concerned about the job opportunities. So, maybe I'm more suited for something that is math related but not engineering, like economics or finance?</p>
<p>Newton, I HAD the same issue. I like the concepts with math and physics but didnt like the "doing" in the labs. As on now, I plan on majoring in finance if I can get into my first choice school or math/econ at any other school. Yes, this is my play and yours may end up different but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you.</p>
<p>i'd appreciate it if i can get more input</p>
<p>If you like both math and physics, then I'd recommend trying out engineering, since it combines both of them. Look at what you want to do for a living; if you're into working in the aerospace industry more than being a financial advisor, than AE is probably the right major.</p>
<p>Look at it this way: You don't do physics in finance, but you can do both physics and math in engineering. Do you prefer satellites and airplanes, or money? Personally, I'm an engineering guy, so I like the former more.</p>
<p>I would do engineering and take a few finance courses to show you have aptitude. You could study engineering and get a finance job, but not the other way around.</p>
<p>i cant say for certain if i like satellites and airplanes more than money, since i've never taken any finance related classes. though the stuff on the news regarding business and money are almost as uninteresting as the latest engineering product or gadget</p>
