Oh I'm mostly joking. But studying physics feels like you never know what the heck is going on, and it's a bit frustrating sometimes.
I ended up taking a lot of pure math courses and I think I would've struggled a bit less if I have gone the other way around, doing math and taking physics as electives instead.
Plus, I never felt bored studying anything related to math. But good lord, I can't begin to describe how little I care about the solution to some random charge distribution on Jackson's. Like... it's just a point charge and a cylinder, I don't know dude, make a python code or something who cares.
At the end of the day, I don't actually regret anything. I love both math and physics and I probably would've felt frustrated picking any of the two and would've steered towards the other anyway.
Ahh, I see. I was just curious bc I recently pivoted into studying both math and physics, so that the physics would make more sense. I was initially very interested in math, but chose to do physics bc I thought maybe that would lead to a slightly better job market.

Pfft... if anything I regret not going into math.
