Is getting a physics degree a bad idea?

>>11869574
do you like physics?

now just take this answer for your question and u should be fine.

>> No.11869583

>>11869580
I mean, the majority of liberal arts student like their degree, anon.

what does physics have to do with it? :^)

I'm implying that being passionate for something does not necessarily mean you won't get a job at Starbucks after getting your degree.

physics is really safe in that regard.

>>11869595
I hope so, because a lot of people poke fun of math/physics majors working something completely unrelated to their degree.

It depends how tightly you define related to your degree. You could argue that any programming job is related because you learned math and analytical techniques and also probably python as a physics/math major.

>>11869574
better go electrical engineering and computer science to be safe

It's probably a bad idea if you write your masters on theoretical particle physics or something equally esoteric given that the chances of landing a landing a job in research is really small.
If you're not retarded and make sure to pick up a handful of programming languages, (((ML))) and get into some useful condensed matter field then it's a pretty good idea.
