Hello everyone,
My name is Melissa i am a physics undergrad about to finish up my third and last year. I am facing a problem with deciding whether to continue my master's degree as a theoretical physicist or go into material science, biophysics or applied physics.
Mainly the problem I'm facing is that i really have no idea what's the best option for me; i enjoy working in labs on experiments, so i think material science is a good option but i am not sure of 2 things.
1st is there a difference between material science and material physics?
2nd what's the difference between applied physics and material physics/science?
my last question is: in your opinion what is the best section of physics to be in right now (Career wise)? because i have no clue what i'll end up working as if i went into astronomy or whatever other part of physics...
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this,
as you can tell I'm extremely lost any help would be great!
