I'm going to a meeting at the Institute of Physics tonight to discuss how to increase the number of students taking physics at undergraduate level. It occurred to me that getting some candid comments from people who have decided to take a physics degree, or not, might provide some useful input to the discussion.

So, something that is not exactly a poll...

If you've taken, or are taking, a physics degree, why did you choose the subject?

If you took, or are taking, a different subject, why did you choose that? And why that instead of physics?

How aware were you of what physics included while at school? And now?

What made you interested in subjects at school? What influenced your choice of A-levels?

Thanks for all the answers - all comments will be anonymous even if I know who you are IRL.

You are the third Doctor! Well, you certainly know
how to dress. Even people saving time and space
have to look good, I suppose. You're not overly
fond of the military. Strange how you ended up
working for them. You can be a bit
egotisitical, but this is tempered by your
genuine dedication to putting right the wrongs
caused by evil men and monsters and your
sincere affection for those around you.
