I was late to the game in decided on physics. I began college as a chemical engineer and have now switched to engineering physics and electrical engineering in order to graduate in a reasonable amount of time. In an ideal world, I'd do math and physics but at this point it's not doable
Just to be clear, I understand theory is not really a field of physics. It was just poor word choice, I was just trying to get the gist of my question across to the community
I'm beginning to look at grad schools for theoretical physics and was wondering how important research is in this field. As an undergrad there really isn't any theoretical physics research I could pursue and I was wondering if I should be looking for any research opportunities in other branches...
