Hi. I am a high school student. I currently want to pursue Physics(undergraduate) from India.

I was wondering if someone could help me with some career guidance. I am confused about the scope and limitations.
I plan on doing my Masters from the US (Preferably..the Ivy. Far-fetched.I know) or some top institute. Can someone help me with the job opportunities? Or Physics as a career? Like..I know I can do a MS in Engineering after a BS in Physics but does that make me a little handicapped when it comes to jobs? Or MS and Ph.D in physics and then a job?
I really enjoy the subject and I would want to make a career out of it.

I am really sorry if I sound utterly confused. It's because I am. Any and every bit of help would be much appreciated. :)

I am really expecting an answer :(
 
And I was expecting politeness. I guess we're both disappointed.
We are volunteers, and are not at your beck and call.

As for your question, it is unanswerably vague. I suggest you read some of the many similar threads, and if you can't find an answer there, ask a specific question here. And then wait politely for an answer.

I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
