You managed to have a section titled “The Actual Problem” without ever discussing the actual problem. Starting with a few detailed examples of an “endeavor [that] ends in this way” would be helpful. Analyzing what (ostensibly) led you to abandoning each individual endeavor might help deduce a pattern and potentially some underlying reasons. Why did you drop out of philosophy? What is an example of a physical concept that led you to dislike the underlying mathematics?
As for majoring in Physics from a practical point of view, it is only worth it if you can’t get enough of it. Computing/Engineering/Commerce/Finance provides a much better bang for the buck (or buck for the bang, as the case may be).
I had thought the pattern is the explanation of the problem—in the first paragraph after the bold letters. It’s less the specific reasons for various decisions (though these have to be [and are in the process of being] analyzed in full, I agree), and more so the general path my mind takes when confronted with said reasons.
Or, are you saying that I should re-examine the specifics because the pattern is too general, and isn’t much a solvable problem as-is?
