I agree with bobo. Engineering lets you play with toys and make things. Physics (and other abstract studies) tend to lead to lots of politics, papers and red tape (from what I've seen).

In software, the dichotomy is between writing software or writing grants. I'd much rather fight deadlines than my "fellow" faculty. Backstabbing is an art that seems well developed in academia and other rarified research areas.

I hope I'm understanding where you are coming from, Talcite.
