I may not be a working professional in the field of physics - I only had a couple of classes in college - but I absolutely love physics! It seems like magic, and when you learn how it works, you feel like a magician. It's awesome!
Good thing is science doesn't change like tech. Once you learn something it's for life. No need to keep learning new frameworks/tools every year. It's stable and yet immensely flexible.
With AI research and studying has become a lot easier. Give it a try if you're interested.Now is a great time to start.
