If you have a chance to change, do physics, but there's every chance you wouldn't enjoy that as much as you think anyway. Except for people that work at universities, most people that I know who did physics (even to associate professor level) are no longer physicists. Physics is a great entry point to business, accountancy, finance, actuary, insurance, data analytics/MI/AI all kinds of stuff that you might equally hate :-)

This is exactly why I left, actually. Although it's looking like I'm more obsessed with it than I thought. Whoops. I'm seriously considering taking a bachelor's in it for fun in the future, after some years of working.
