Hi
so i recently decided that i waned to become an applied physicist, and i hoep to end up one day w/ a Ph.D.
Im actually a senior in college right now and will graduate soon with a liberal arts degree. so i had a change of career faily late.
Should i go to a state school and get a second bachelors or should i take the minumum courses (E&M, QM, mech, thermo) needed to get into a masters program, and finish that , and THEN apply to a Phd progeam? is there any better advantage of going to get a full BS?
Also, how do you tell if a graduate school is a good school? Does the fact that I am plannign to go to a state school for a masters hurt me in going to a good PhD school?
summary: here's my proposed path: finish liberal arts degree-->take a few post bacc courses-->Masters program--> Phd program-->unemployment (lol?)
