Ohh, I see what you mean.

In that case, you’re right - there are professors in every field. However, given that you have to spend 5-7 years getting a PhD in it, then potentially 2-4 years as a postdoc doing research in it, and then the rest of your career doing research and teaching it…whatever you get a PhD in should be something you really, really love.

But I don’t mean that to induce more anxiety in you. I have a PhD in psychology, and I figured out that I loved it in college - in my second year, actually. So you’ve gone time!
