How should a person decide what subfield to specialize in if there are so many appealing choices?
I am a rising college freshman majoring in physics, with career aspirations of becoming an astrophysicist. But the term "astrophysicist" is so broad, and there are too many specializations to count (heliophysics, exoplanetology, planetary science, cosmology, galactic evolution, and astrobiology, to name a few). Because I consider myself an indecisive person, I can see myself having trouble narrowing down a topic that I want to dedicate years of my life to. So, when it comes time to choose a specialty for master's and PhD theses, what's the best approach to go about it?
