Choosing a Physics Field: Advice from Physicists

[Bluskyz]

As there are so many fields in physics ranging from relativity of the large and quantum of the small, I just can't decide what field I exactly want to go into. I've tried researching topics such as relativity, quantum theory, elementary particles and string theory which kinda goes into cosmology but every single one seems the offer the exact same awesome experience. I would love it if I could major in every single one of them but it just seems that there's too much in anyone field to focus on all of them at the same time. I guess I'm just looking for some guidance as to the benefits of the certain fields such as job demand, subject matter and previous experience with said field. Any physicists out there, share your experiences please :) Thanks for your replies.

The best advice I can give is to find an area of physics that interests you the most and focus on that. All of the fields you mentioned are fascinating and offer amazing experiences, but it's important to remember that there are different paths you can take within each one. For example, if you're interested in relativity, there are a lot of topics to explore such as black holes, gravitational waves, cosmology, and more. Similarly, if you're interested in quantum theory, you can delve into topics like quantum computing, quantum entanglement, and quantum mechanics. It's also important to consider job demand when deciding which field you want to specialize in. Some areas of physics are more in-demand than others, so it's important to research what kind of jobs are out there in each field. Additionally, it's helpful to talk to people who are already working in the field to get an idea of what it's really like. Good luck!
