    Programs A Second Bachelors Degree in Physics

    I sympathize with this and posted something along these lines. I also earned a BS in a different field and am sort of regretting it. I am definitely interested in hearing some replies as well. We have the same thought process. You onl get one shot at this life thing and I sure as hell...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Lmao on a side note our avatars are arguably the two most entertaining supporting roles in the past decade, plus. Kind of appropriate for this thread as I am considering quitting! Anyway...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Yes, I have as there are multiple people responding. I have taken Physics at the high school level and two courses in college. I understand my level of physics knowledge is certainly not impressive but I would not compare my level of knowledge, interest and experience to that of a freshman in...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Thank you for being honest. I have a Finance degree and even after 3 years of work, I don't know what I want to do with that either. There has to be a solid percentage of people that still don't know what they want to do with their career. I don't want to be 35-45 years old and still feel...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Definitely. My schedule is certainly loose. Really all of the maths that were necessary for my finance degree. Statistics courses, calculus, etc.

    There is no will yet as I am not signed up for anything. It is going to depend on which university I would take classes at as each have different prerequisites. I made the assumption that I may not be able to get to those courses by looking at two schools that offered them.

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Yes! I've been waiting for a very realistic, non-sugar coated post. Thank you for this. I have about a year and a half until I would begin the program. That gives me some time to get the basics. Thanks again for clarifying that.

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Thanks for the replies guys. I wouldn't be going for the masters until 2016 so I do have time to take a few classes beforehand. They will not be teaching undergrad level physics before the MS. There are numerous schools in NYC that offer undergrad level physics courses that I have been...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Here is a good report on this subject that Zapper put out. Definitely a good read. He is certainly making me feel like I should be taking some classes on the side in preparation of this goal. "Entering Physics Graduate School From Another Major"...

    SteamKing - Thank you for the response. I understand what you're saying about interests, etc... I am a firm believer that we only get one shot at this life thing! With a solid background in finance along with making quality connections along the way has given me the notion that I could...

    Career change from finance to master's in high energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology

    Hey everyone - I have a BS in Finance and have been working in Private Equity for a couple years now. This past year I have been having the 25 year old, "wtf do I want to do with my life" quarter-life crisis. I have been highly interested in Physics my entire life. Always fascinated by the...

    Is it Possible to Earn a Masters Degree in Physics in Spain in Just 1 Year?

    Hey I am actually looking to do the same. I just started searching around for an appropriate school in Barcelona. I actually have a Finance BS so I'm not sure I would get accepted into a Masters program for Physics... which is probably grounds for a new thread in this forum! I did earn an A+...
