post-grad career advice for a physics BS breaking into mechanical engineering?
Hi all! I'm graduating next year with a Physics BS and would love advice. I would like a job in mechanical/energy/environmental engineering. I have relevant experience from working in a lab with a mechanical engineer PhD, so I know some basic CAD, arduino, as well as Java, C++, Python, Verilog (HDL), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and some actuation stuff for robotics.
I also have experience doing astrophysics research (photometry) and will be working this summer in a lab working to use hydropower to strengthen the grid.
Are there specific fields any of you recommend to pursue? I'd like to make 6 figures, but am not willing to work in defense and I understand it could take a few years to get there. Ideally I wouldn't need to go to grad school but I'd consider in order to make more money.
TLDR: Engineering career paths for a physics BS that make 6 figures (not in defense). I'm seeing optomechanical engineering has a good average salary, what others? Are there grad programs y'all know of that set you up with a good job? Or companies that generally look for new grads like me? Thanks so much!
