Wonderful. You told me everything I wanted to know. I had contacted some professors whose names I found online that are involved with this field, and while they were really informative about the field of Quantum Foundations itself, they couldn't tell me about the job market in regards to it. I...

This is fascinating, and exactly what I wanted to learn when I joined Physics! It's the actual investigation of the "why" of quantum. Do you know how hard it is as a field? Not in terms of difficulty, but in terms of positions and competition(postdocs, etc). Foundations almost passed me by...

This was great and really interesting. Exactly what I was thinking. Is there any experimental work in this field? It seems like it is really niche. I tried contacting some profs near me but they won't reply.

Could you develop your thoughts on this a bit more?

Recently, it has come to my attention a field called Quantum Foundations. This is exactly what brought me into Physics, even though back then I didn't know it was a research area. In my Physics classes, I got disappointed and unmotivated at the "Shut up and calculate!" attitude of my Physics...

Thanks a lot! MRI Physics is important do Medical Physics as far as I am aware. I have settled for Engineering for now. Some time ago someone asked me what I wanted my role in the world to be, and even though I like learning about Physics, I think I want my role to be in the space industry. I...

By the way, thank you everyone for your life advices. It has been a rough and crazy year for me. Way too many things happened and way too many big decisions had to be taken.

What do you guys think of hobbyist physicists? Not for research of course, but I don't want to stay tied to pop-sci. My greatest joy is learning how the universe works at a fundamental level. Channels like PBS Space Time are great and but I wish I could go more in depth. How far can you...

I mean I don't know what to choose because I don't have the necessary experiences in either to know. Half a decade from now when I have more experience in either option I may realize that the other was indeed the correct one. Then I will live in regret until I die. This is why it is a tough choice.

Surprisingly I have done this already. The result depends on the day.

Hello, I know there are countless threads asking if you can go to grad school in Physics with an Engineering degree, and I know that the answer depends on my score on the GRE. I am not asking this. What I want to ask is: supposing I have a good GRE score but am coming from Engineering, can I...
