Sci. I need help choosing a major/career path. I am still 1 year away from starting college. My interests vary a lot but they stay within stem fields. I have considered going into medical physics because I love physics and helping people. Also I hear that medical physicists do stuff that regular physicians couldn't touch with a pole. Other majors I've considered are electrical engineering and also physics. No I'm not looking into it because people/parents/teachers tell me that I should so no I'm not falling for a meme. I know that they will be challenging and pretty much destroy my social life. I kinda already don't have much of a social life to begin with so it shouldn't be much of a loss. I spend most of my time studying mathematics and science. I am an accomplished autodidact, I taught myself integral and differential calculus, ODE, LA, elementary real and complex analysis. The more mathematics I learn the more I think about just doing a math major. I would love to do research in mathematics but I get scared because of all the things I hear about math majors being likely to have suicidal thoughts and stuff like that. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
