Would double majoring in physics be worth it

[jason177]

I am currently a math and physics double major about to start my 3rd year. I recently really started to prefer my math courses and hope to go to graduate school for math. I still find physics to be fun but I just don't think it will be worth it considering how much time I will have to spend on physics when I could be taking math classes instead. So I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice on whether a degree in physics would really be worth it when I plan on going to grad school for math instead (probably pure mathematics).

I think it really depends on your individual situation and what you plan to do with a physics degree. If you are considering pursuing graduate studies in math, then a physics degree may not be beneficial to you unless you are planning to pursue a career in an area of physics where you can use both your math and physics skills. However, if you do decide to pursue a career in physics, then having a degree in physics could prove beneficial since it will give you a better understanding of the fundamentals of physics that will help you in your graduate studies. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide if getting a physics degree is worth the time and effort.
