Hi everyone, l have a situation and l thought you could help me. Actually, l live in the U.S. and want to apply for several phd programs, but I’m interested in both astrophysics and AMO physics, and l can’t decide which track l should pursue a phd in. I’ve talked to several professors from my department and all of them told me to do the one which interests me more, but for me both are equally the same, so l want to ask u which one has more ongoing active research? I know some people in astronomy would say that I might not end up doing something related to this field, how about AMO? what does the future path of AMO or Astro look like? what are some other job titles rather than academia (for both of them)? (I know that I should never choose one because I want to pursue a career in academia but it’s always important to have a general idea about the outcome and please give me a straight answer and don’t say the one which interests you more! and I prefer to do research in observa. Astro and experimental AMO)
