    Which school for master's in EE and related career questions

    Where to Go for College Physics: Quantum Mechanics & Nuclear Engineering

    I've visited different schools around the state, but frankly...Alabama SUCKS as far as schools go. Auburn is the best school in the state, and they don't have much as far as experimental physics goes. I am still a Jr. in high school, and so far, I'm thinking about attending MIT until i can get a...

    Why bother becoming a physicist?

    Let me answer that question with another of my own: "Why not?" Do you REALLY have anything better to do with your life, however short it may be? I mean, REALLY? I see nothing better to do with MY life. It's better than being bored to death at some office job that you answer the phone all day...

    Where to Go for College Physics: Quantum Mechanics & Nuclear Engineering

    Hi. I posted a while ago about this, but nobody seemed to want to help me. Now I'm hoping someone will find it in their heart to help me out a bit here. I want to go into Physics. Pretty much any experimental physics would be good for me. I am very good at math, and I have a certain passion for...
