I just graduated from a 4 year university. I want to go to a grad school. I am considering to pursue my graduate studies in theoretical physics. What is your opinion on theoretical physics? I welcome all kinds of comments based on theoretical physics and the areas that are closely linked to theoretical physics.

i <3 theoretical physics, but it shouldn't matter what others think of it. Do you want to pursue a career in academia? If you're looking for advice, it might help to understand what you are currently thinking you'd like to do after school. :)
