That will really depend on you. Mechanical will be a good start. See what else you really like, talk to a guidance counselor to start getting headed in the right direction. If you don't like their answer, talk to a different one. There are lots of engineering jobs but again, Mechanical should get you ready for a very wide array of careers.

yeah...computer engineering a lucrative!!\nit's similar to electrical engeering..but u need a master degree to do it!!

Electrical Engineering or Telecommunication.

I'm a little confused as to why a degree in Physics would get you a job in finance.  but anyhoo....  Yes there are lots of jobs out there in the engineering fields, especially if you specialize in solid state or fluid dynamics.

since u like doin engg. there are a lot of branches  like electronics,electricals,comp science,information science,mechanical science etc. etc..\ndepending on what interests u and suits you the most u can choose your branch!!!

The best degree, maybe a PhD?  I think you meant: what field should I get a degree in.  That's a toughy, I would think medicine is a good field.

There are so many fields.\n\nTechnology is constantly evolving and in demand, so electrical engineering; computer engineering, etc\n\nCities are growing and infrastructure must be expanded, so fields like civil engineering would be in demand.\n\nYou know, really, just about any kind of engineer will have relatively decent job security.

Having worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years (specifically military aircraft for what is now BAE SYSTEMS) I can tell you that you probably have a few options. You could do a degree in Electrical Engineering and end up either designing or installing highly specialized wiring. Or you could specialize in the field of Avionics which relates to aircraft systems design, installation, fitting, maintenance. This is systems such as ILS, VOR, radar, and other flight instruments.\n\nAeronautics is an option but you do realize that it covers a wide range of topics not related to your electronics qualifications. Areas such as Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics.\n\nAfter you graduate the sky is the limit. These people work in all areas of aircraft engineering from Boeing to NASA. Because engineers in general are in short supply you can "write your own ticket" and work anywhere in the world.

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

Firstly let me know in which field u'd like to study. If u want to pursue higher deg in the same stream,then it wud be advisable that u go for BE/B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering as a lateral entry candidate.

There's an interesting discussion about job opportunities for physics majors at:\nhttp://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=26050&page=3 and\nhttp://www.uic.edu/orgs/gem-set/archive041101q5.htm\n\nMaybe you're really more interested in majoring in engineering.  Have a look at:\nhttp://www.engin.umich.edu/about/careers.html\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck to you in pursuing your dreams!

I would say become an electrician. Manual labour is highly sort after nowadays such as plumbing, gas engineers etc. This is where you can make the most money and these sort of things are always going to be in demand. Most people today prefer IT, office jobs, retail work etc. I would definately go with becoming an electrician. My husband is a heating engineer and in that trade, companys are screaming out for workers.(and the pay is good, but can depend on where you live)

I think you may want to try learning java or c++.  I currently am minoring in Computer Science Engineering along with my Mechanical Engineering degree and I have taken C++ and it's alot of fun.  As for a programming environment you can download open source stuff such as Eclipse which is awesome, because you can set it up as you want for your own needs.  Many of my classmates use Eclispe because it is open source and flexible or you can try Dev C++ which is what I have on my computer as well and it is also free to download.  I dont remember the website for Dev C++, but the one for Eclipse is www.eclispe.org ... good luck!

I think this depends on the country you are in and its needs. For my country electrical and electronics is the most sort after because it includes communications engr. which is a fast growing field in my country.
