So Im studying a Science degree, majoring in Physics, and I have

Yes, physics is worthless to employers.

If it were me, I would stick with physics and work in the public sector or finance

HA. That's hilarious. If OP wants to do that route he better be at a stunning university.

Otherwise OP, a bachelor's in physics won't do much for you. If you don't intend to continue with the degree engineering is a better option.

If you can go on and do a PhD, by all means stick with physics. If you don't want to or can't, engineering is the best bet for job stuff.

I mean you could do an engineering PhD if you'd prefer. The subject is less important, but you'll need to like the subject matter to get through the PhD.

Stem is a meme if you haven't figured it out already. Focus on internships and jobs, not your major. I guarantee you won't even be working in your field

According to my retired NATO and NRL grandfather and all of the USAF pilots, I've spoken to, the school itself does matter nearly as much as what you did there. I can't say for finance though, I have no interest in it

The problem is its not a major, in NZ you have it as a seperate degree entirely, and internships in physics are few and far between

I dunno how NZ is doing these days, but if it's anything like anywhere else you're fucked. Even our computer engineers are getting fucked because it turns out poo in the loo isn't just a meme. I'm not trying to come off as a doomsayer; I'm just letting you know you should brsce for impact. Engineering is "better" but only if you enjoy it and get internships. If not then you're screwed. Think of it this way. Would you rather be unemployed with an engineering degree or a physics degree?

physics from a top level program could get you a job in finance. if you're smart enough to graduate from a strong program you're smart enough to work for them.

more importantly, figure out what job you want first, then decide what they're looking for in the "perfect" candidate and plan accordingly.

what would be your engineering dream job? or whatever else interested you, find their job listing or a similar listing and see who they're looking for. Do as much research as possible, its the biggest decision of your life.
