I think it really would depend on your area of research. You may want to look into those companies you mentioned that hire mathematicians and read the descriptions of the available positions. However, it's not likely that a company is going to hire you to research pure math.
You should look into what is necessary to becoming a professional engineer in your chosen field. It may be more important for work as a civil engineer than in some other areas. It is possible that you could never be a licensed PE without a B.S. engineering degree. I think this varies by state...
I should also say that it may be very difficult for you and your wife to live together during years of post-docs. Also, each of you eventually obtaining professorships at the same university (or two close together) may be difficult as well.
Can you get a teaching or research assistant position? These often waive tuition and pay you a stipend. How is it the debt is so high after only two years?
Are you sure about this? It's generally more common for people in math/science to apply directly to PhD programs rather than masters.
You are definitely right that balance is necessary to be successful. However, most people studying physics and math will need to put in more than 1 or 2 hours a day to get a 4.0. Either you are extremely gifted, your program is not rigorous, or you are still a first or second year student...
It seems like you are maybe trying to take the physics GRE a year too early. It's true that the questions on it are not terribly high level but if you've not had any E&M at Griffiths' level or I assume mechanics at the level of Marion & Thornton or so, the GRE may give you trouble. For the...
Not likely, if only for the obvious reason that smoking marijuana is illegal (at least in the US). If you are working towards a real job, i.e. you are in a PhD program and want to work in a government lab eventually, good luck getting hired if you get caught and have a criminal record for...
Hey guys, he said he already took all of the courses on the list and just wanted to study one of them more in depth. I would say E&M or Classical Mechanics, but it depends on how far you've studied either. Did you get to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations in your CM class(es)? If not, it...
The courses he listed consist of the entire curriculum they offer there, according to their webpage. Also, about 1/3 of them are basic computer programming courses and more than 1/2 would be considered freshman/sophomore courses at a regular university. So I would say no, it's not a good...
Ah..I think you're missing the point. Go out and join a club or something. To improve social skills you need to interact socially (with actual people).
