Quoted By:
6th year Physics PhD student here. Physics does just kinda suck now. The pay is bad and the hours are long. Plus, most physicists are assholes. Hardly anyone stays in academia after the PhD. I'm not entirely sure I would even recommend going to grad school at all, but I do like all the non-physics skills I've learned, and that I have helped build a major experiment.
Don't stop doing physics if it interests you, but think of ways to do it on the side or something, so that you can have a career that doesn't suck and just enjoy physics while doing something else.
