Physics is really about understanding nature.
Engineering is about applying said nature to practical problems.
It's really a preference. As to what interests you more/what you want to do.
Also worth consideration is what you want to do afterwards.
Both degrees provide opportunities in: finance/consulting/IP/data science/business analyst/tech.
Physics: professional physicist (pretty niche, basically requires PhD then stay in academia), A handful of technical areas like defence system roles etc, weather analysis, satellite tech
Engineering also has the academic research element but their are many more industrial & technical opportunities, engineers are everywhere in a variety of capacities.
