The question has been asked many times; what fields are in physics. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find an answer, so here I am. I'm thinking about going into physics, specifically a form of theoretical physics, but I find myself unable to find more specifics on general fields (I also believe I missed several of the general fields during my brief research). I know I'm asking for a lot, but could someone please either post, or link me to a post that shows all the general fields of theoretical physics, along with the sub-fields and a general description of the field/what physicists in that field do?

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
