Hi there!
I am new to the forum. My names Rana, I live in Seattle, and I am currently enrolled at a community college right now where for the last year or so I've been dedicated to going into the field of neuroscience,...but...I had one of those college "mid-life crisis", and now all I want to do is study particle physics.
Since of course, I am a LONG way from getting a PhD, and I fully understand that it's very possible that I might change my mind for my major, or go back and forth, I DO know that whatever field I go into will be that of Neuroscience or Particle physics or Cosmology (but hey...I might be wrong!
So, my question is-
I've heard a couple different ideas of MAJOR's one has to choose to go into the realm of particle physics.
One being majoring in Mathematicas, and the other was Physics? So I am just curious if anyone could tell me what the path to someone like myself would be if I decide to dive into this field.
I am curious to know what I'd have to be mentally and emotionally prepared for if this happens for me. I have a lot of self doubts of my mathematics skills, but I am definetlly trying very hard! I have this misconception that because I've been raised by artists, done art for many years, attended art schools my whole life until now, that I might not have "what it takes" to be in the realm of science(which bums me out, and depresses me). This is totally a personal fear I am experiencing probablly because everything is so new to me, but I'd liek to know if I do go for it what's ahead of me. THanks! looking foward to hearing your thoughts
