Which ba. degree is better; engeneering (ME or EE) or physics? Anonymous 02/03/26(Tue)11:39:30 No.16905010

I am torn between these three. On one hand, I love understanding the way our world works. But I feel like the only way I could make this degree truly meaningful is if I continued my studies and took a PhD (I don’t think I would be that committed, desu). I think it would be sick to be a scientist, but modern science is so fragmented in so many different directions that I lose motivation. Furthermore, I feel like I want to prove to myself that I am smart (by studying physics).
I think engineering is sick, especially mechanical and electrical engineering. I hate programming, however, but I would have to do it anyway. I think these degrees would be especially useful for some personal projects I have in mind, as I would like to build makeshift sustainable electrical systems. But they don’t give me the same theoretical knowledge, which is what attracted me to STEM to begin with. I also have to pick between the two (EE and ME), and I don’t even know what’s best for me in that regard...

Any advice anons?
Maybe i shiuld just self study physics and become an engineer?

Idgaf about the superiority complex of physics majors. I know I want to return to school later on life. Honestly I think engeneering ins better for me. Im also (kinda) a brainlet

EE is totally not a trade school, especially RF, signals and analog IC circuits design

What if you want to make stuff though?
