>>9867335If you don’t meet the following criteria, DON’T study physics
>you are good at math>you are good at programming in atleast 5 different languages >you weren’t inspired by pop physics hacks>you have a high IQ and are generally in the top 10 of the class>you are able to socializeThe last two are VERY important, although you can get away with one of the qualities. If you were an average student and somehow got in through a diversity quota BUT you are able to socialize, you will easily get a high paying job after you graduate.
If you are an autistic genius and can’t socialize, that’s fine too because people generally flock around geniuses so you’ll get a crash course in normiehood as you go through college and eventually get headhunted by CERN or NASA once you graduate.
However, if you are an average student and can’t socialize, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT STUDY PHYSICS. Why? Because every employer has this perception that all physics graduates are Einsteins and can program 10 different computer languages with their eyes closed. If you’re not able to meet these criteria or can socialize with HR stacies, you are fucked. You will only get low level menial jobs paying below minimum wage after taxes. So you will be better off dropping out right now and getting a job at Mcdonalds and working your way up than going through the brainlet path.
t. Brainlet who managed to get a PhD in Physics thanks to a diversity quota of accepting more students from “poorer”schools. I’m now working in a call centre and hate my life and want to kms everyday desu
