Which is better to study in college, Physics or Mechanical Engineering?

I like Physics, and I'm good in it. But, I'm not sure if I will land on a good job after it. It's okay for me to teach or do research. In Mechanical Engineering, I'm quite sure that I'll have a job immediately, but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy doing it for the rest of my life.

Take physics. Richard Feynman was faced with a similar decision and choose engineering - and realized it was the wrong choice. You must go with what you like. When you are finished you can do a masters is some applied area. Physics graduates these days are being snapped up in droves by wall street. Modern financial math is very similar to the math of statistical physics.
