I wanted to ask, simply out of curiosity, how people here think they arrived at where they are, interest-wise. For instance, why did you choose one (or two, or three, or rather...some natural number k) in particular of physics, mathematics, engineering, or one of other fields, as opposed to any of the others?
Especially for those who have had many interests. Then there is specialization in graduate school too, for many of us.
I find that I at least have to keep in touch with all the things I find really enriching, although I know I vastly prefer to get involved in close range with the details of some things over others.
I ask this question here, because I think it can be instructive to those who are figuring it out, either when it comes to deciding on a broad area of study or for instance picking a subfield of physics, mathematics, etc.
