Hi everybody! I'm an italian student, I'm about to get my bachelor in physics, and naturally the next academic year I'm going to begin grad school. My problem is: starting with the fact that I'm with no doubt a theoretical physicist, i'd like to know if, as far as regards career, it will be better for me to study (and possibly get a PHD and so on) particle physics or structure (atomic and molecular, i don't really know how to call it) physics.
I think I'm really fond of particle physics, and that's what i really prefer, on the other side some people keep telling me that it's far more difficult to find job as a particle physicist than as a structure one.
I'm sort of going crazy, since when I decided to study physics I just thought "I want to do what i like most, screw job possibilities" but as far as i was told, the situation for particle physics, especially theoretical, is quite desperate.
I'd like to know if you're of the same advice, thanks in advance.
