what does it take??
Hey guys,
I have posted a few times before, as have a lot of others, on being unable to decide on a career in either physics or engineering. As it happens in a few weeks i will have finished my first year at uni, which is great, but now i really am at that fork in the road where i need a specific major in mind for choosing my second year subjects and am still feeling a bit lost.
I think at the moment i am really leaning more towards a major in physics... One of the reservations i have though is how much harder does it get? I have always had great grades in physics and maths and don't find the coursework particularly difficult yet, but my main question is:
how do you know whether you are up to doing a major in physics?? How do you know if you have what it takes, not just to be mediocre but good??
I have huge interest and i guess good ability, but does that cut it? I think i have this idea that you have to be completely out of this world to do really well...?
Anyway, would love to hear from anyone that felt the same, and their personal outcome. Or simply what people think in general.
Thanks,

P.S. Sorry for another physics/engineering type topic ;)
