Nearly everyone I know taking Physics A-Level is looking to do Engineering! Why does no-one want to take Physics, which seems more interesting? Is it just for the money? What do Engineering graduates usually end up doing exactly?
I'm just finding this all a bit depressing as to me it seems like people don't actually like Physics as a subject but are after a well-paying job, same with a lot (but not all of course) of people aiming for Medicine or Law. Not trying to offend any aspiring engineers of course, especially if you genuinely love it, just it seems like many people are perhaps not passionate about it but are doing it because it's considered a successful career.
Is it odd to like theory more than applied theory such as Engineering?
