Hey guys, I'm new here! I will soon transfer to a 4 year Uni to get an undergraduate in Physics which is simple enough. Where I need advice is the Doctoral and Graduate degrees. I want to work in Theoretical Physics but I understand there are specific specializations you have to choose according to this article:
"Theoretical physicists usually start out with a bachelor's degree in physics. Many take classes in theoretical physics along with foundation-building classes in math and generic physics. Students then go on to obtain master's and doctorate degrees in physics. In Einstein's time, theoretical physicists could study many different branches of physics. Today, because physics is much more complex, theoretical physicists need to specialize in one particular branch, such as elemental physics, quantum physics or astrophysics." - http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/theoretical-physicist-do-3284.html
Say I was looking to research String Theory, which graduate degree would I take? Feel free for long explanatory responses, because this is my career and I would like to know as much as possible! Thanks :)
