In 2010 I will be doing my third year,

Aeronautics and Astrophysics seems to be calling to me,
the only other specialization of interest is quantum physics and maybe electronics,

I know I shouldn't really abandon a more general physics education, but I really want to start specializing now!

I remember reading in one of my Quantum physics books how dangerous it would be for the human race to stop studying Quantum physics and that is the reason why I still take papers that involve it,

and I only do electronics papers because it involves building things,

does anyone else feel the need to do Aeronautics?

Oh Carl!

He is THE reason I ended up doing astrophysics. Unfortunately, I never finished the "astro" part.
