All I can find about physics online is stories of how bad it is.
The field is high supply low demand
The pay is low for everything except the best positions
The hours are excruciating
You do more administration than actual physics
You have no free time for anything
There's no job security
You have to take years of student debt to be able to do it
These stories are really starting to discourage me from a career in physics, because a decent pay, reasonable hours and actually DOING physics are important to me. If these are true and to become a physicist I'll need to sacrifice my family, relationships, health and money to do it, I need another job where I can use my skills in physics and maths.
