hello all, my name is sean and i am very interested in string theory,
quantum mechanics,nuclear physics.....etc...etc.....
I dont know about you people but I dont know anyone other than myself that
likes to take physics classes for fun, or when i have a spare moment dabble
in a textbook or two. I spend most of my time at work, where i am an
electrical engineer. im thinking of getting a BS in physics. Anyone have
any recommendations as to good universities, other than MIT, I feel with all
of my other expenses I may not be able to afford to attend there at first.
anyways hello again

I would actually recommend that you go for an MS or PhD rather than a
BS. If you've already got one bachelor's degree, in a field like
electrical engineering especially, getting a second isn't going to be
much above what you can get for yourself reading books.

Most/all require both. Also, if you become a grad student you will
likley be able to work as a research assistant or teaching assistant
and have your tuition waved and get paid about 20k/year.
