Can a nuclear scientist be a programmer?

Question

IT education

At the moment I am studying at the Faculty of Physics of UrFU (Institute of Natural Sciences and Mathematics). Studying seems incredibly boring, I feel that I am out of place. Together with a friend, we dabbled with Arduino, solved problems for mathmechians on the pluses, together with friends helped a math teacher with a website, we were thinking about creating our own mobile application, but then the session began.
I want to transfer. They don’t take ff with mat-fur (surprisingly). However, immediately there was an opportunity to transfer to a nuclear engineer. Pleased with the presence of computer science and engineering. But the specialty is narrow. I understand that most of them do not work in their specialty at all, but what if they throw me out of IT again (although for the time being, on the contrary, it drags me) and will I have to get a diploma from the far shelf?
Is it worth it to take a steam bath with a transfer to this specialty? Will it confuse an employer in the field of IT in the diploma "Nuclear Physics and Technology"? Is it even possible for a nuclear scientist to become a programmer?

Answer 1

Even such great nuclear scientists as Bohr and Fermi did not become programmers.
No chance.

Answer 2

About hospad, a lot of people work as programmers with diplomas of economists, lawyers, linguists, and you take a steam bath about a nuclear scientist)) Of course you can))

Answer 3

Immediately decide whether you are an engineer or not. If not, try not to torture yourself, because when you get a diploma, you will most likely not be a good engineer. But at the same time, you can be a software engineer by doing interesting things. When the time comes for practice, ask for industry, and so that they would be waiting for you there. So it will be easier to understand, pulling, and you won’t have to sit out your pants in the pulpit
