    Advise Major
It is much more about numbers, theories, and experiments rather than science fiction. It's important to have a realistic understanding of the field before committing to it as a career. Some people argue that physicists make less money than other professionals, but this is not necessarily true. There are many well-paid jobs in physics, especially in areas like engineering and technology. As for your education, it's a good idea to major in physics engineering if you are interested in both physics and math. This will give you a strong foundation in both subjects and open up a wide range of career opportunities. In summary, if you are truly passionate about physics, don't let the misconception of low pay discourage you. Pursuing a degree in physics engineering will allow you to continue

If you're going into physics to do research on time machines, life on extra-terrestrial planets and wormholes, then think again. Chances are very small that you will end up doing research on this. Physics is something completely different from what you read in popular science books.
