Representative perspectives
Physics at UCLA is very tough but very rewarding. For career opportunities, don't silo yourself to just research roles - physics is highly employable in roles like engineering, finance, etc.
Careers & next steps
Upper division is very hard. Really important to select the right professors. Workload will be really heavy, and require hard dedication to complete.
Difficulty & workload
Very difficult but rewarding experience. For careers you need to keep an open mind beyond just physics research and professorships - physics is a super employable major in so many areas, like finance, engineering, prelaw, etc.
