Alrighty, so I found this app or forum if you will, because I wanted advice on possibly pursuing a career in physics. I'm about to ETS out of the military and one of my biggest worries is "what am I going to do for the rest of my life?". I am fascinated with (space, time, physics, theories, particles...etc). I want a career that I look forward to waking up to everyday.. If I could get any advice on this subject I would greatly appreciate it.
