Hello There!
I am currently an undergraduate student at a state university in Pennsylvania. I went originally to study secondary education mathematics, however after meeting other education majors, and everything that encompassed the 'education major' I learned I was far more intelligent than any of my classmates, and I had far more of a passion / love for math.
So quickly I switched to a pure&applied track within Mathematics with a Physics minor, this happened all within freshman semester. Now just finishing my 3rd semester, I'm beginning to love Physics more than I ever imagined; I still love math, but there is something truly invigorating about physics that draws me in much more than math, well at least more than the pure math. Since the start of college (after dropping education) I knew I wanted to get an advanced degree.
My question is: For a student, even in my position (just finishing 3rd semester), I am beginning to question whether I should go to graduate school for Physics or Math. I know it's still early, but I'm just curious if anyone out there has had a similar situation and what they did and how they feel it affected their career and whether or not they feel it was a good decision in hindsight.
