As one of my Daughters told the Chair of the Physics department at a large Big 10 collage to switch her major from ME to Physics, "I want know the answer, not guess."

That's actually the reason a friend of mine gave for switching from physics to maths.

Weird, because my experience with science and mathematics is that everything I learned only leads to more questions. I personally preferred taking a small chunk of that knowledge and using it to do real-world stuff which was always surprisingly complicated but satisfying. An engineer that "guesses" is not a very good one IMO lol

My whole life I thought I'd study mechatronics. I was one of those kids winning robotics comps and getting sponsored to go to global ones and get my arse beat by actually smart people.

Anyway, I switched to physics because "I want to know why".

Ahaha, hahahahaha, aaahshahshshshs oh naive little me. Ha ha ha ha. Now I am an overeducated house wife with a head full of questions. I could have done something useful instead of rocking back and forth in a padded room screaming "but what is time? why does it break all the patterns?"
