So I’ve just finished my freshman year of college and am heading into my sophomore year where I will begin MS&E. My university has a program where you aren’t placed into a major until your second year.

I’m having doubts though because when I tell people my major, the first response I often get is “What even is that?” I also often hear that I’m going to need to go to grad school, which I really don’t think I can afford.

Basically I’m just wondering if a Bachelors is going to be enough to land a job. (Also specifically I live in Texas, so I’m not sure what the job market is like in my state for Materials Science either).
