Degree advice: Will a Physics degree still be worth it?
I’m 18 and I’m from Catalonia. I want to study Engineering Physics but I might not reach the cutoff grade, so as a second option I thought of just a normal Physics degree, but many people say Physics degrees are not employable and I wanted to know if that is actually true.
I am willing to complement my studies with some Data Science, coding, or engineering but there are no options for minors in my university. I also lowkey like Electrical Engineering which people recommend over Physics here in Reddit, but I don’t enjoy heavy designing that much and Physics seems more versatile across fields too (I’m inherently a Generalist with multiple interests).
I am not interested in pursuing a PhD and research, which I know are very poorly paid here. I would prefer to work more in engineering, Data, Tech or stuff like that (I have to admit I’m a bit lost because I still don’t know what exact jobs there are).
I also think a lot about AI and what it could replace, and I think systems based reasoning provided by Physics is strong. So please I would appreciate anything you knew about the market, the demand, and whether Physics degrees are still valued in Catalonia, or in Europe, or in general.
