NTA but I have more like this. IT will be hard to get this thread back on the rails again.

>Should I go into academia?
That depends on a lot of things, much is discussed over in /scg/ and the related FAQ:

>Any anons have experience
Sure, I do, and many others in /sci/. What >>15252034 writes is fairly accurate and I did something similar.
After 2 rounds as a postdoc I left academia, went to industry and now have a very comfortable salary with excellent job security. It is important to leave academia earlyenough and avoid being trapped. A PhD and a round or two as a postdoc is a great experience in terms of life but not in terms of money. You start slaving away in a normal job early enough, so value the years you did something else.

physicist nowadays uses alot of topology, differential geometry and group theory
There is no reason not to double major if you want to really understand modern physics.
So the ranking is:
physics solo (pointless)<math<math+physics
