need career advice!
I am currently on towards my undergraduate degree in Physics, with a minor in Computer Science.
Besides physics and math, I enjoy working with computers, programming, and using CAS's such as Maple and Matlab. I am planning to work towards a master's degree in applied sceince but a PhD in Physics is not an option for me so the problem is "what can I do with an undergraduate degree in physics?" (Or what kind of master's program should I consider ?) |

a masters in Computational/Simulations Science is probably your best bet.
Look to make sure you nearly qualify for a specific dept...with mostlikely a year of undergrad to make the qualificaion. Talk toe the Grad Advisors about Cross-Departmental research...for example UBC and CMU both do cs/math/psych ...some schools also have a math/bio so what your looking for will mostlikely be a cs/phys/math. If you also enjoy playing games-perhaps Game Physics Engines will be your career of choice...then I suggest studying up on SPatial Management(mesh methods, BSPs, Octrees) as well CLASSICAL/ANal Mech. ANother Alternative is Computational Astrophysics(if you like the pretty pictures) |

thanks for the advice!
I guess I need to start looking for interdisciplinary programs. |
