    Up and coming grad student in physics here. Can maybe throw in my two cents. It’s not for everybody. You spend a lot of time just learning the basics (pretty much all of undergrad). Than in grad school it gets more specialized. Physics grad students don’t actually need to pay for grad school most of the time. Because they are either doing research for the school or are helping teach classes. So they get their tuition waved or can be paid 30-40k a year while earning their degree. The school would be paying you to go which is a nice change. This is only true for PhD programs. For masters it can be different. For those who don’t know. You go from undergrad to being a PhD student. You don’t do undergrad masters than PhD. Although you do attain your masters on your way to your PhD. The market after you completed your PhD is competitive. You will have a place to work, but it won’t be where you want. There are trade offs with every job, field, and specialization. Whether you are theoretical or experimental can make a huge difference. Theoretical is usually more competitive. Because you need to be good with the numbers. While experimental is more forgiving however it eliminates some of the freedom allowed for your own questions. Instead your answering someone else’s questions instead of coming up with your own. That’s how it goes though.

      You could switch to computer science and take some electives in physics and upper math classes. Likewise, you could switch to an engineering discipline (mechanical or electrical, electrical is more math heavy) if you want to keep doing physics related stuff but want a better job security. On the other hand, the barrier of entry for programming and data science jobs is not very dependent on your degree, more so on your ability to program well enough and being comfortable with math and statistical analysis. So, in that case, you could see if you can get a physics degree with a minor in computer science or data science. Later on, you could pursue a computer science master's degree and specialize in a high demand field e.g. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, specific data tools etc. Good luck

      @@bereniceg777 Talk to an academic advisor and see if you can get a minor or double major. I would recommend taking at least the courses "intro to programming", "data structures" and "algorithms" before you graduate, that way you can apply directly to a masters in Computer Science/Data science. You could apply and enter a master's without these classes but you'd have to take them within the first year of the master's.
      So move your course load to graduate later(e.g. graduate in 5 years instead of 4 years), take these classes, practice programming in your free time, attempt to get a decent GPA and if you haven't yet, I would strongly advise to do research in your institution or a nearby university (which you can do as an undergrad) and also attempt to get a summer research or work internship abroad or nearby (they typically cover all of your living cost and you'll receive a decent stipend).

      hi idk if you’ve gotten an answer to your question yet but yes with a masters in physics you can definitely go into many fields that are all a pretty good return on your investment. Anywhere from $60k- $80k at least. especially if you pick up some skills along the way during your studies like some basic coding & computer skills. Id say look into what you want your actual career to be as far as physics & then see what is required. Even just a Bachelors degree will have great return on investment, sometimes even higher than a masters depending on the field.

      Ben de mühendislik mi seçsem diye düşündüm ama sanırım evreni anlamayı ve o derinde yatan teorileri seviyorum. Kimisi mühendislik rahat kariyer diyor kimisi seversen kazanırsın diyor benim çevremde. Ben ikiciyi seçtim. Sen ne yaptın?
