And that... wouldn't drive someone towards economics? Where you can make $250k a year as a "quant" surrounded by people who think compound interest equations are intense? Again - not going to stereotype, not going to point fingers. However, if someone were, say, not competitive in physics due to their disdain for experimental reconciliation, there are other avenues open to that person in environments where their investigative rigor need not be particularly acute.Reconciling models with observation is where it's at, yo. Increasingly, the only way to be competitive in physics nowadays is having the ability to do theory/modeling with at least one toe in the realm of experimentalism.
