So I just completed my first year of Physics at my university. It could have gone a lot better, but I got sick with Crohn's and that really screwed things up. I'm not sure if physics is right for me, so I need input. The thing that makes me really question my self is that all the other physics majors at the university are really into astronomy and theoretical stuff. Me on the other hand have no interest in that.
In high school, I failed grade 11 physics once (I took it while I was in grade 10). However second time around it wasn't a problem, and I did fine in grade 12 physics (88 percent). So as you can see I'm not the best physics. The only reason I'm a physics major is because Medical Physics really caught my attention because I wanted to do something in the service industry.
For a job, I for sure want to do something in the service industry. It would be a dream to work in the medical field, which is why I'm going for Medical Physics. However, I struggled my first year and it only gets harder. I've looked into doing other things such as Biology, but I'm scared that it would be harder since I'm no good at memorizing. I love Bio (80 percent in high school), but I'm not sure what kind of jobs I can do with it. It would be too hard to become doctor so that's out of the question. I don't understand Chemistry, but do great at it (97% in high school). So here is a question:
- Is medical physics one of the harder physics? Where would you rate it in terms of difficulty? Compared to other types of physics? Compared to other jobs (doctor, engineering)?
Basically I'm not sure what to do with my life. Physics is not a passion, but an interest. I don't know my passion but my hobby is working with Photoshop, and people say I'm great at it and have told me countless times to take that path. Except as a graphic designer I can't see my self enjoying my job since it's more of a hobby and I would enjoy doing something medical. Like I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do something medical but question if I'm smart enough.
So any advice guys?
