Hi all, my name is Brian, I'm studying Physics. I'm a second year student at UC Davis and am currently enrolled in a Career Counseling class which has tasked me with interviewing two people who have majored in Physics and have or currently are working in the field. I was wondering if someone here would be willing to help? Real name's are not necessary if worried about your privacy, the questions are simple enough just things about the kind of work you do, the name of the company and how you're liking your career choice, things of that nature. I would appreciate some help, thank you.
