I really excelled at physics in high school, what would be a good career choice?

Well, for the last 4 years of my life, I was dead-set on becoming an anthropologist. Nothing sounded better than researching humans and how they developed, in fact its something I've been interested since I could first started reading. Well, things changed. The downturn in the economy and absolute hell in an anatomy class made me rethink my career path.

Luckily, I discovered a new love this year: Physics. It was the first science class where everything just "clicked" into place; where all the systems of equations connected and could be applied to just about anything in the world. In fact, the thing I excelled at most was taking those equations and applying them to problems.

So my question to you is this: What's a career that I could apply these problem solving abilities? My first guess was engineering, but I'm not sure which specialization I should go into. At college registration, I went with electrical, is that a good choice? If you have any other ideas, let me know. :)

P.S. Don't say "physics". My girlfriend turned down a full-ride physics scholarship because there's apparently no work in it... I'll take her word for it D:
