College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>hey all, </p>

<p>i am currently a high school student who will be attending college soon and i have been thinking about majoring in engineering. My strong areas in school have always been in math and science and i thought that this would be a natural choice but i would like to make sure that my career options are not limited by choosing this a major in college. I am not sure that i want to be an engineer at all but i am almost sure that whatever job i do want it will involve math and science. If i major in engineering will my career options be open? Could i for example still become a mathematician , physicist, doctor, quantitative analysts( for like a hedge fund or something like that) , bond trader or something else. My friends have told me that majoring an engineering leaves a lot of career paths open and i just wanted to know what those career paths could be besides becoming an engineer. </p>

<p>thank you for your time</p>

<p>Yes you can be anything really. You can start your undergrad with Biomedical engineering for example and still become a medical doctor. You just need to apply to med school after that. Other fields include, dental, pharmacy, law, mathematician, physicist, professor and soooo much more.</p>

<p>You can also go the other way. For example, I know a number of physics majors who get work or advanced degrees in engineering.</p>
