/sci/ - Science & Math

OK /sci/ I am currently a freshman at Villanova (Yeah I know amerifag) and the time to declare a major is drawing near. The dilemma is that i cannot decide whether I want to major in Theoretical Physics or Electrical Engineering. Now in HS I loved and succeeded in both physics and AP physics. I aced both classes with ease and enjoyed them thoroughly. The thing is it seems like to succeed in physics you have to be some sort of prodigy instead of just very skilled at physics. Is this true? Or can a great but not prodigal student make it in the field. Would Electrical engineering be a safer bet considering the large demand?
TL;DR If I am not a prodigy at physics can i still succeed in the field of theoretical physics?
Pic somewhat related, Its my favorite theoretical physicist.

No, I don't think so. Why are you putting everything in the Intergral?

A tall, thin chain smoker, who often neglected to eat during periods of intense thought and concentration, Oppenheimer was marked by many of his friends as having self-destructive tendencies. A disturbing event occurred when he took a vacation from his studies in Cambridge to meet up with his friend Francis Ferguson in Paris. During a conversation in which Oppenheimer was explaining his frustration with experimental physics, he suddenly leapt up and tried to strangle Ferguson. Although Ferguson easily fended off the attack, the episode convinced him of Oppenheimer's deep psychological troubles.[19] Plagued throughout his life by periods of depression,[20] Oppenheimer once told his brother, "I need physics more than friends".

YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD, you a troll?

A scientist is trained to and often does "engineering" work. An engineer has no fucking clue how to do "science".

Its like a chef and a fastfod worker. A chef can make fastfood, but a fast food worker is not a chef.

This physicist was better at engineering then all "engineers" that have even existed. FUCK OFF!
