For those unwilling to read everything:
-Tips, advice, suggestions, etc. about deciding on studying Physics in college.
-Stable job suggestions for a Bachelor's and a Master's in Physics.
I am seventeen years old, and a junior in high school currently.
I'm not at the top of my class, but I'm not doing badly (3.25 GPA currently).
Previously, I had been thinking about going into the engineering field, but (obviously) Physics has caught my eye as well.
I can't say I'm math's biggest fan (I'm decent at math; not bad by any means, but not a math genius), but my interest in how the world around me works trumps that.
I am still trying to decide on whether the field would be right for me, and it certainly looks appealing.
Sadly, I am honestly pretty clueless on everything currently. D:
I don't know what the job outlook is like, job security, pay (I'm not expecting rediculous amounts of money, but I want enough to raise a family and survive), etc.
I guess I just want to make sure I wouldn't be making a mistake for myself personally.
If I go into Physics, I may end up working towards a Masters, but I can't promise I'd want to put in even more time towards a PhD (not right away, at least... maybe later on in life).
I'm looking for a stable job, so I don't want any short job contracts where I might be wondering what I'll do in a year or two when I have to find a new job.
What kind of STABLE jobs could I find with either a Bachelor's or a Master's in Physics that could provide what I am looking for (reasonable hours and a decent income to live off of and raise a family with)?
Also, is there any advice, tips, suggestions, etc. that you may have for me to look into before making my decision?
Thank you for your time! :)
