Hello. Currently, I am a high school junior that has completed AP Physics C: Mechanics with a 4 on the exam, and I am in Calc 2 at the Univ of Oklahoma. I have, over the last two years, developed a great interest in physics, and for a long time have had interest in combatting climate change/global warming by going into the renewable energy industry.
For some time, I have been set on nuclear engineering due to the assumption that nuclear engineering bachelorsNuclear engineering doctorate (obviously masters in there too)Potentially working with fusion. But, with my newfound interest in physics, I’ve been thinking about going into nuclear physics, and I’ve also heard that it may be more beneficial for where I want to go. Should I simply go into environmental if I want to work with renewable energy? So, here’s my swathe of questions:
1.) I plan to go to UC Berkeley, but I am also considering UCSD, or transferring to Berkeley later on. Going here, which programme would be ideal to go into - NE or N. Physics?
2.) I don’t want to take the “easy” way out, but if this is extensive and things don’t work out, should I just go into environmental engineering?
3.) In general, given the info I wrote, is NE or physics more promising?
Thanks in advance.
