How do you find the major to be in terms of interestingness of the material?
I do plasma physics, but other people in EP do nuclear engineering, mechanics, astronautics, and so on, but yes I find it to be very interesting. There are some subjects like nuclear physics which sound neat but then you study it a little bit and find out it can be sort of boring. Anyways, it all depends on your instructor, course style, personality, and so on.
… would you see that as necessary or are there employment opportunities you passed up?
From my undergrad experience it seems most people who do engineering are basically set for employment right out of undergrad, even for something more unusual like EP. I’m doing grad school more to try and get into research.
First of all, congrats on your admission.
