Do I give up on my dreams?

[Anonymous No.11077063]

Alright is it even worth it to become a physicist anymore? I want to make a difference bring new ideas and a greater understanding of the universe to the people, but do people even care? Is this just a stupid dream I should give up on?

I care.

[Anonymous No.11077094]

it's not a matter of them caring, it's just that your likely contribution to humanity will be something autistic like proving quantum loop gravity on a torus

follow your dream anon
many us us still care

The Strumia case shows that physics is now another outlet to give incompetent women important-sounding positions. Drop science and join us in finance, the one place where forced diversity will never exist because meme donations may keep coming even if your staff is retarded, but investor money is a true meritocracy.

/biz/ is crypto. Quants use more math than you'll know in 20 years so this is our board bow.

Do you only want to make a difference or do you want to do physics? If you really liked physics you wouldn't even think about giving up.

yes you should study economics instead, it's a young science with lots of potential groundbreaking discovery within reach

im on the same path anon. keep at it. many times (especially with fucking gay experimental physics classes- i got a hang of it tho) I wanted just to quit this bullshit and study math which I find much more elegant and comfy. But I am here and I persevere to make something of my ambitions. My goal is to learn General relativity and the Navier-Stokes Eq. So yes, we very much do care and there are many like you out there.

bruh, this isn't physics, this is like simplified physics for engineers. disgusting.

Almost nobody cares, but that shouldn't influence you in your endeavor. Stop caring about others people's opinions, it will increase your happiness.

How would you quantify this? If one person care, then I guess you win, no?

i guess but why would i care

If you do it, there's a slight chance you'll become useful to humanity
If you don't you won't ever have a chance to matter

your kidding right?

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.

Sounds like you care more about being a physicist than actually doing physics. If that really is the case, you should give up. If you really do like physics, no one will change your mind
