I have recently been admitted to UChicago for undergrad and I’m interested in the physics major offered there, and am very impressed by the wealth of research opportunities available at the school. I would very much like to see myself as a physics researcher or PhD student in the future. However, I am at least somewhat interested in having engineering as a potential career path (not everyone can turn out to be highly paid physicists) and the lack of an engineering school at UChicago worries me slightly. Also I'm not particularly interested in molecular engineering at the moment, which I know Chicago does have now. I was wondering, should I unfortunately find that physics research just isn’t for me, what kinds of careers a physics major from UChicago might be able to have in the area of engineering (and the difficulty of finding such a job) or whether any physics majors are able to to be admitted to a top graduate school to pursue a masters in engineering? Please share your thoughts and experiences and thank you for your help.
