Physics? Really?

So I just finished a terrible midterm on Electricity & Magnetism taught by a nice guy but... bad teacher. Awful teacher. I'm so sick of being taught physics by theorists. I get the feeling that if I wanted to be an experimental physicist I should have just gone into engineering.

Along those lines, looking on courses to take for next semester, the options are bleak in physics. Solid State, and Advanced Quantum Mechanics. Solid State would be nice because it can help me get a job, but that's about it. Engineering courses on the other hand, are awesome. Vehicle Design, Photonics, Feedback Controllers, etc. What the hell? Rather than learning really cool things that are real, I'll be learning about Group Theory and the Theory of Representations, which is an entire course dedicated to what happens when you, get this, turn something slightly. Ack.
