Hey guys, so I am about to graduate in May with a double major in physics and mathematics and I don't really know what to do.
So my grades are not the best, but they improved as I've gotten further into my academic career, and this year I am hoping to make the dean's list. I want to get my PhD in theoretical physics and study black holes. There are no jobs in this, and that would be a bad investment of my time. Not only that, I don't think anyone would really accept me, I mean dang, my own school didn't want me for their graduate program. I have been active in clubs and outreach and jobs in the physics department.
All that being said, I am sort of burnt out, the entire process has been mentally exhausting. Should I try to get into a PhD program/masters program for theoretical or maybe for electrical engineering or some field in math relating to differential geometry. Or should I go get a job somewhere? and if I were to get a job somewhere, what would I even do? I feel very lost, I don't know what math or physics majors do, everyone just keeps telling me I have a lot of options, but I don't know what they are or where to look.
I appreciate any and all help,
Abscissa
