Note: This is not a immediate plan, I may attempt this 4+ years from now.
I'm interested in many different engineering fields and a while ago I was thinking I should try to obtain multiple different engineering degrees such as Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering.
But doing some research I heard that if you have a Ph.D in Physics you are often qualified for many different engineering fields so I thought I should try to pursue that.
But when I was browsing through other majors from different Universities I noticed that they were many different majors that sounded very similar to Physics and I'm not sure which one to pick.....such as:
Applied Physics
Engineering Physics
Engineering Science and Mechanics
Engineering Math and Statistics
Master of Engineering in Engineering
Applied Mathematics
Applied Science and Technology
So as of now I'm not sure which major I should try to pursue for a Ph.D......any advice?
