How to decide on my career path?

[QUOTE="jtbell, post: 5878685, member: 20524"] If you need to start earning serious money soon, then a computer science major (programming) or engineering (as phyzguy suggested), would probably be better than physics, provided of course that it's something you enjoy doing, so you can keep on doing it without feeling "trapped" in it. The problem with a physics bachelor's is that it doesn't really lead to jobs in physics immediately. For that, you pretty much have to go to grad school for a Ph.D in physics, or a master's in something else like engineering. Ph.D students get enough money to support themselves, but not really a family. It would probably be at least 5-6 years after finishing your bachelor's, before you get a real job. I was at a normal age for going through the process, and I didn't get my first real job until I was 29. [/QUOTE]
