What would a degree in physics do in getting an engineering job

[leonne]

Hey
in my university they have a dual degree program of physics and engineering. What would a degree in physics do for me? Would I be able to get a better job then just having a degree of engineering or would it just give me a better chance of getting a job vs someone who just has engineering degree. Btw I want to get a degree in electrical engineering. I already completed most of my sophomore course in electrical engineering when I was in a community college. I didnt get into the engineering branch, but I got into the physics, so already doing some junior level physics, so i figure that i might as well get dual degree instead of wasting a semester for nothing.

A degree in physics can open up a lot of job opportunities for you, especially if you are interested in electrical engineering. With a dual degree, you will be able to demonstrate a more thorough understanding of both the engineering and physics aspects of your field, which may make you more attractive to potential employers. Additionally, having a dual degree may give you a better chance of getting a job than someone who only has an engineering degree. You will also have a better chance of being accepted into a graduate program that specializes in your area of interest.
