My friends who are here, here I will soon finish my schooling and continue my education to become a student or go to college. Well, I want to take pure physics or Mathematics. Well, the only problem here is that it's really hard to graduate from college in my country, and I'm afraid the major I choose will make it difficult to enter the workforce later. do i need to go abroad to get a job that suits my fashion? Oh yeah, don't worry about me only thinking about work after finishing college, because even though I've finished college, I will continue to study until the end of my life and I also enjoy my process when I am productive 🔥🔥

elaborate? do you think that math/physics is unemployable or that if you fail to graduate you can't get a job?
What I mean is not that mathematics or physics are unemployable in general. I’m aware that these fields are highly valuable globally. The issue is more about the context of my country.
In my country, entering the workforce is already very difficult, especially for fields like pure mathematics and pure physics. Jobs that truly match these disciplines (research, theoretical work, advanced scientific development) are extremely limited. On top of that, research and scientific contributions are often underappreciated and underfunded by the government, which makes long-term careers in these fields even harder to sustain locally.
That’s why I’m considering the possibility of working or continuing my career abroad, where mathematics and physics are more integrated into industry, research institutions, and innovation, and where these skills are more directly valued.
This doesn’t mean I’m choosing my major only for jobs. I genuinely enjoy studying and learning, and I plan to keep learning for life. I just want to be realistic about my environment while still staying true to my passion.
