Thanks for the input guys. Here is the story of where I am at, and how I got here. It will help explain why I am getting a BS in Physics and why there is no concentration of my study.
I left high school wanting to be a mechanical engineer, hopefully ending up in the automotive field. I started at a Ju Co because they offered me money. As I went through my first couple of years...which seemed to take me 4 I realized that moving on to a REAL university for my ME degree was hopeless. As it would be hard to find a job and be able to pay my bills and my tuition, My GPA was not up to par. We have a branch of A&M in commerce with what I thought to be a decent physics department. So that is where I went, with the hopes of getting my degree, and then finding an employer who would pay for me to go and get my ME degree. I am now in my 3rd semester here. Physics classes are hit and miss. Sometimes they make, sometimes they don't so there really isn't the option for concentrating your studies. I have also recently realised that I need some sort of 3D modelling experience to increase my options. The school I am at has an industrial Engineering department that offers such courses. The first course teaches CAD and then the next course teaches solid works.....the CAD course is a pre req for the Solid Works course...and they are a fall spring sequence.
Enough rambling. I'll check out the raytheon site. There is a Raytheon branch in the town I work in. As well as an L3 communications which services a lot of military aircraft. Lockheed Martin is also not far away in Fort Worth.......
