Academic and Career Guidance Forum

In summary, the conversation discusses the new "Academic and Career Guidance" forum and suggests posting ZapperZ's "So You Want To Be A Physicist" journal series as a sticky. There is also a mention of Greg's previous attempt to link to the journal, but it did not work properly. The group agrees that the journal series would be beneficial and suggests getting Zapper's permission before posting it.

I'm now mentor for the "Academic and Career Guidance" forum?

I'm not complaining- I think it's a worthwhile forum but I would have like to have had some notice beforehand!

Thanks for listening, everyone. And sorry if my actions inadvertently put you in a tough spot, Halls. :shy:

Now that the forum is here, I think it would be great if we could post ZapperZ's "So You Want To Be A Physicist" journal series as a sticky. It could probably answer many questions before they are asked, and be beneficial to someone who isn't browsing the forum with a specific question in mind. And of course, it'd be much more visible and perfectly at home as a sticky in this forum. Of course we'd have to get Zapper's permission. What does everyone think? Worth posting and worth stickying?

Greg, I noticed you posted a sticky linking to Zapper's journal, but the links don't seem to actually pick out individual journal entries, so they all wind up just linking to the top of the last page of Zapper's journal. If there's not a way to link directly to the entries, it might be better to just copy the text from the 5 entries and paste it into 5 posts in the thread.
