aerospace engineering.. turns me on

HAHAHA...you want to be an engineer...you better have some great gift for it then...  Let me help you first with the question... "How can I get a Scholarship to study aeronautical engineering when I never took Physics in High School?".  Now that we got English down...

They both potentially pay very well. Engineering is quicker you can make alot of money after 6 years of school instead of like 12. But medical is alot more prestigous. Also, its about what you'd enjoy most.

Do a double major of both!

Thats sounds like a good idea as you will def need physics at a very good level to do engineering!...;

I assume you mean aircraft mechanics and maintenance.   Usually I don't recommend this, but you might want to look into the military.  First choice would be Airforce, followed by Navy and Marines.  There are technical schools that also offer this training, but I would expect that the military will offer superior credentials in this field since you may get security clearances for more... delicate work.\n\nUniversities, such as the Ohio State Univeristy, will have aerospace ENGINEERING, which is about DESIGNING aircraft, but there are generally MANY students seeking that degree, creating a glut of job-seekers in that employment market.  This is yet another reason to seek the training and experience through the military because, not only will you get the GI bill to help pay for college, but you will also have excellent professional experience and discipline.  I have seen these guys enter engineering as I am an advisor and find that they tend to be more successful.\n\nI won't kid you though, Navy or Marine work on an aircraft carrier or whatnot is not the safest work in this field!

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers both a standard Mechanical Engineering curriculum leading to a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, and an Aerospace or Biomechanics Option. The latter culminates with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering and an Aerospace Certificate. Students who select the Aerospace option will be required to include in their departmental electives three courses related to aerospace. In addition, they take an aerospace lab in their senior year in lieu of one standard senior lab. \n\nThroughout the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, every effort is made to fulfil the department's educational objectives, namely:\n\n  To educate and train students in Mechanical Engineering in a technically sound, challenging and professional manner \n  To prepare students to enter careers ready to make positive contributions to their professions and society, or to continue on to successful graduate research and education \n  To inculcate in students the responsibilities and rewards associated with an engineering career and life-long service to the profession. \n\n\nRutgers has an Engineering Program that may suit you.

i faced a similar situation 5 years back and i know how difficult a choice it can be. \ni was good in physics and maths both (at least that's what i thought), and i had got admission for studying physics at a reputed college. i left that a year later to do engineering.\nit depends on 2 factors -\n1. your priorities. do u want to  pursue research in, say, physics or do u want to get a job and settle down? pursuing physics as such is definitely better if u really like physics and would like to continue pursuing it.\n2. the institution u get admission to. after u leave the institution, u should get ample scope for pursuing your interests. your interests should not get hampered by lack of facilities in the institute, or lack of peer who have the same interests as u, etc.\n\nalso, many engineering institutes allow u to pursue physics along with your normal engineering courses. so u can actually continue physics while doing an engineering course. that's when u r unable to decide for sure.\nall the best.

Seriously, do both. It'll be painful to have to sit through both but trust me, you'd be in demand more than than plain engineers.\n\nBesides, with the globe going all biomed-medical hub, your expertise would be needed everywhere, and I guess it doesn't help that there are very many engineers out there already. You don't need the competition, do you?\n\nAnyway, choose what your heart says. If you really wanna do plain engineering, go ahead. After all, you're the one sitting for the course.\n\nChoose wisely and well, it's too advance but I'll still say it..HAPPY STUDYING c",)

chemistry!! but it also depends on what you like. chemistry to me is more interesting, and it was definitly more challenging. \n\nactually though, i like physics a lot better because in physics you learn how things work and why; in chemistry and biology you learn more about how things are made and what they are composed of. i recommend taking physics if you get the chance!

major university have few physics path.  My university had one physics path for science major and one path for non-science.  Since I was a sicence major...  and yes, it can get  extremely difficult.  (same for calculus)

Aerospace, biotech, and technology -- huge opportunities for specialists. See the article linked below for a really complete answer to this question.

I am currently doing it at the moment.  Find a University that offers the course.  Make sure you work hard in your Physics and Maths classes, as these form the foundation of what you will learn at University.  Also, If you are still at school, see if they offer any kind of engineering science classes.  These will help a lot.\n\nAnother option is to explore the air force.  This can give you a hands on version of Aeronautical engineering, which may be better if you are a more hands on orientated person.

Physics! It's much more math centric, and more fun then chemistry!  Good luck.

Yes, physics is interesting and it is the study of how nature works. Keep trying and thinking about things. Develop your logic and things will be easier to understand.
