You're probably suited to engineering more than physics IMO.

Physics tends to reward finding THE solution. It's akin to a pirate's quest to finding the treasure hoard. The solution rarely involves a logical progression and more luck than anything else. I recognize this is a controversial take since few people realize this and would accept it. Physics education trains people that everything is derivable through assumptions and steps but new advances rarely come through this process.

Anyways, I relate to your mindset more as well. I much rather approach solvable problems.
