[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid considering a physics or math major and wonder the same thing. I think an engineering or applied math degree would be more practical, but I get why DC is more interested in studying physics or pure math. I hope that the pure physics or math degree will open doors for jobs or grad school if paired with a practical minor. [/quote] Be clear-eyed on what he's going to do after undergrad. We have two kids in our extended family that went to CMU - one for math and one for physics - and both struggled to get jobs after undergrad. One of them did a minor in CS (he stayed an extra semester to get the courses needed) before he landed a programming gig and the other (math) I think went on to grad school. This was during the CS boom days, pre-covid.[/quote]
