How do I decide which sub-field of Physics I want to pursue?

[QUOTE="jtbell, post: 5474638, member: 20524"] Try to read about a wide range of fields. For example, the news and feature articles in [I]Physics Today[/I] magazine. Even if you don't understand most of the details, you'll get an idea of what physicists actually do besides astrophysics, string theory, etc. which get all the coverage in the popular press. If UTA has a Society of Physics Students chapter, join it and you'll get [I]Physics Today[/I] as part of your membership fee. Also, if UTA has regular colloquia where faculty and visitors talk about their research, go to them. You probably won't understand much beyond the beginning of the talks, but again you'll see what physicists actually do research in. You'll have the chance to talk to people and sound them out about research opportunities. And there may be refreshments. :biggrin: [/QUOTE]
