also, realize that someone in biophysics might not require the breadth of knowledge that someone purely in biology requires. when you tend to narrow down your field in conducting research, you narrow down to the subfield that is required; you wouldn't need to attain the breadth of say, ecology...
post docs can transition you. don't forget those.
i know of a few phd physicists who did their postdocs and are now in different departments, including biophysics, chemical biology, and even engineering.
one good thing about phd is that in having gone through the work for one, you have proved...
what do you hope to get out of graduate school?
i'm not familiar with the Canadian system, but i would assume that your current GPA translates to less than a 3.0/4.0, which might indicate that you have some trouble with undergraduate classes? do you have any ideas why and if you can improve on...
I'd just like to comment that MD/PhD's actually serve around a 70/30 research/clinical ratio, so they actually spend most of their time researching.
Although when clinical research is performed in their "clinical" role, things get hazy, but in general, you'll see either 80/20 or 70/30 quoted...
This is likely a school specific issue. I know of at least 3 schools that allow you to pursue more than 1 curriculum in graduate school. I imagine there are more if you look.
Furthermore, there are schools that, in addition to allowing more than 1 curriculum, allow you to have more than 1...
Unfortunately, it would be highly unlikely that you can get a job as a chemical engineer.
You'll have to understand that engineering curriculums cover foundations of what practicing the profession involves, and in the case of chemical engineering, there are special courses that are very...
Also, if your complaint is that the exams are not rigorous enough, please do get in the habit in your undergraduate years of not preparing only for exams.
If you are truly interested, master the material, at least at that level, outside of exams and the exam material should come naturally.
Perhaps explore other engineering disciplines before making such sweeping judgements ("I Kind of Hate Engineering...").
There are various fields in electrical engineering that you can explore that are very mathematically involved, and theoretical in their own regard, separate from pure math...
Do professors push most of their lab work onto graduate students and focus on grant proposals?
How does the answer differ for assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors?
Which physics courses have you taken so far to make you so certain that physics is the area you wish to pursue? If you are only in your first year of engineering, you're likely still taking the same courses as Physics majors, mainly the calculus sequences, chemistry, first sequence in...
