Hello, new member here. I am currently enrolled as a freshman for a pure and applied physics major. however, there is yet much information that i need to attain to clarify my pathways since physics is a very broad body of knowledge with many applications. At the same time, I want to be as employable as engineers. So a little bit in turmoil, but looking forward in pursuing a physics degree as well as getting a good job. :)
