<p>I'm currently a major in physics and, as the title suggests, I am regretting my choice right now. I've had a passion for it for years, and I did very well with it my senior year in high school. In college though, they make it seem like all it is is programming events and such. I serisously spend more time each week in programming and computational classes than an actual class learning physics. Is this the norm for all PHYS majors?? I was considering changing my major to neurology, all thoughts are greatly appreciated!!</p>
<p>That could be a very useful skill when you’re looking for a job later.</p>
<p>well what classes are you taking, and what year are you?</p>
<p>I’m a physics major and I’m jealous of all the computer time you’re getting.
All my classes were pencil-paper with the occasional mathamatica assignment thrown in. It may be great that I can do all this math from a textbook, but any research problem (aka graduate school) or commercial problem (aka job) is going to deal with programming it into a computer. </p>
<p>Also, if you can’t guess, I’m not so good at programming. Can you elaborate on “programming events and such”? If you’re a physics major, I can’t imagine them making you take more than 1 or 2 programming classes for your degree. Are you solving, for example, your e&m homework using python or something? </p>
<p>And physics is going to be completely different than neurology.</p>
