I've started the undergraduate's journey into physics. Although I'm still working through pre-req's I wanted to get a solid grasp on before the degree itself, I already have a vague idea of what I want to do after. However this doesn't go to say my choice is definite, but I've always been passionate about the environment.
A few years ago I considered Conservation Biology, but realized that I wanted to work from the inside out as far as problems we face with the environment. Or at least work to gain the most fundamental understanding of the physical world.
I'm sure there are many fields a degree in physics could lead, but I'm wondering if there are people on this forum that are involved/interested in alternative/renewable energy, environmental study, etc, with a physics background? There might be some obvious answers, because I personally think physicists are "trained" to be some of the world's greatest critical thinkers which opens various study paths. However I'd love to hear what others think :)
