I'm thinking about researching particle physics after my undergrad. should i reconsider?

Why is there "stem career general" threads on this board then? They should also fuck off to /adv/

Enjoy a lifetime of having your name buried in the "et. al." section of collaborative papers.

Unless your name is Aaron A. Aaronson, in which case you'll be the most widely recognized author in your field.

Why even consider particle physics after the LHC discovered the Higgs and nothing else? The desert is real.

Renormalization is not a mystery waiting for someone to solve it. The integrals blow up as the cutoff momentum goes to infinity because the theory is wrong there, obviously. This is not unique to particle physics; it also happens in approximate models used in condensed matter physics. But absent experimental tests of what's going on at those extreme high energy scales, all you're going to get is string theory-tier or lower-tier speculation.

Another thing anon forgot to mention almost all of those papers will be on negative results.
