BlueberryFocus All-Star Author Rochester Posts:553 Points:128,310 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Sep 23, 2012 1:15:10 AM Ignore BlueberryFocus Report Abuse I like physics but at times it can be a challenge (I think that's why I like it so much). I'm majoring in it, but I don't know if I will stick with it... I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, I'm very indecisive.

tractormantim Champion Author Knoxville Posts:1,527 Points:672,805 Joined:Sep 2010	Message Posted: Aug 21, 2012 12:10:06 AM Ignore tractormantim Report Abuse I enjoyed physics, even though it wasn't easy. I had a little trouble figuring out what my professor was talking about one quarter though. He was fresh from England to Athens, GA and didn't talk like us. I remember thinking "aluminium" was kind of funny. But, I'll have to give him credit for being one of the best instructors I had.

ShadowCaver Rookie Author Indiana Posts:61 Points:122,000 Joined:Nov 2011	Message Posted: Dec 3, 2011 9:50:00 PM Ignore ShadowCaver Report Abuse trinda1: "Can someone tell me what does Physics applies to in the work force, and what does it pertain to?" lol, interesting choice of words,,, talking about a "work force" when discussing physics… ;) But seriously, physics is such a broad category, that there will be just about at least a small part of physics in every field, and if not directly, it will be in the background, as physics also teaches a person to think, looking at a problem in the big and the small subset parts, and their interactions. I didn't like the first semester of physics, as discussions regarding forces, weights, velocity, etc. did not interest me at all,,, whereas the 2nd semester was quite enjoyable, as topics related to electromagnetism, light, electricity, etc were gone over. And that stuff is awesome, IMHO. So, back to the OP,,, yes it is hard, and it is also easy - the 1st semester, for me, sucked, was hard… whereas the 2nd semester rocked.

Personally, I found Newtonian Mechanics and Optics easy, but had harder time with Electricity/Magnetism and, especially, Quantum Mechanics difficult.
