Give me 10 good reasons why I should major on Chemistry instead of Physics

Give me 10 good reasons why I should major on Chemistry instead of Physics.

Chemistry and Physics are second majors. There's not enough meat on them to be your first major.

You will see Quantum Mechanics & Thermodynamics in both Majors.

In Chemistry you will see ready the real life applications.

If you wanna create another useful chemical compund go to Chemistry.

Pick Physics if your dream is to discover a Groundbreaking theory as Newton & Einstein

Chemistry will require more memorization (kinda useless now when we have computers)

Physics will require more advanced math.
But Physical Chemistry still math intensive though.

That's a start, now rewrite without the reddit spacing and I'll read it.

But don't they both study atoms and what's inside them?

Go for chem for a broader approach to science. I got my undergrad in chemistry and ended up doing physics for my masters, in the end all of my classmates had gone to the fields that were more interesting to them; some went to bio, some computational chem, electrochem, theoretical physics. So in the end you'll end up in a field that interest you.

if you aren't sure you want to go to grad school, pick physics. the math skills are much more widely applicable and employable. the chemistry-specific stuff you learn is marketable only for chemistry jobs, it's mostly synthetic organic chemistry.

>But don't they both study atoms and what's inside them?
Yes they both study Atomic & Molecular Physics, Solid State Physics & Nanotechnology

But Physics also study Relativity, Electromagnetism, Classical Mechanics, String Theory.

While Chemists study other things such as Organic Chemistry, Bio Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, etc Courses which the Physicists don't take.

Because chemistry is the central science.

Chemistry majors get jobs in their field, Physics majors go back to high school to teach.
