Hello,
I was just curious, what degrees do you need for theoretical physics... And also particle physicist.

To become a scientist, you typically need at least a bachelor's degree in a science-related field such as biology, chemistry, physics, or environmental science. However, many scientists also pursue advanced degrees such as a master's or Ph.D. in their specific field of study.
While having a science degree is the most common path to becoming a scientist, it is possible to become a scientist with a non-science degree. Some individuals may pursue a graduate degree in a science-related field after completing their undergraduate degree in a different subject. Others may gain experience in a scientific field through internships or research opportunities.
A degree from a prestigious university can certainly open doors and provide valuable networking opportunities, but it is not a requirement to become a scientist. What is most important is having a strong foundation in your field of study and gaining experience through internships or research projects.
Yes, certain degrees may be more desirable for specific scientific fields. For example, a degree in biology may be more beneficial for someone interested in becoming a biologist, while a degree in geology may be more useful for someone interested in studying earth sciences. It's important to research the requirements and expectations for your desired field of study.
In some cases, a degree may not be required to work as a scientist in industry. However, having a relevant degree can provide a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that may be beneficial in a scientific career. Additionally, many companies may prefer candidates with a degree in a related field for certain positions.
