I totally agree. BTW I also studied in one of those "premiere institutes". I think we should all be in contact. I think not only are we all traveling in the same boat, the boat is large and crowded. Surely its not an individual problem.
@ twofish-quant
I will go through the MIT open...
Understand that. V have some support system here in MS, but in country of billion people and limited resources, u have to be really good to get that. probability in my case seems less especially when profs look at ur background b4 admission.
Part times suck in here and get a job and go to...
Thanks for being ab;e to understand my situation. I too have some doubts on whether I might actually get along studying it. I have started reading the feynman lectures to understand some basic things. Suggest some other book that you find is a good start.
Another problem is that of finding time...
I don't imagine myself on a podium receiving the greatest honour for revealing the deepest mystery of universe. It the fun in trying to find out and sustained imagination that goes with it which attracts me. Courses will help giving time for me to work on the necessary tools for objective...
Apologize for the late reply. I must thank you all for the abundant response that is received.
I understand here that the term physics can include a world of things as it can be called the study of matter (which includes most of the stuffs) and energy (most other stuffs). In simple terms I...
I just want do get into a post graduation program. I do not want to get into a Ph.D program right away because I feel P.G will give me enough time to catch up. I know that many universities do not give a terminal MS, but at least an integrated MS-Ph.D program where MS is via coursework would be...
TMFKAN64 , do universities have such criteria that they admit only people only if their bacheors is in physics? doing a full time degree is no option and "taking up courses" system is not available in our country...its a full degree or nothing. some other alternative?
thanks collectedsoul, i had almost given up hope on any replies since i posted this some time ago and did not get a single response. you have made a very usefull suggession. u said that you were also in a similar situation. does that mean that you are also thinking about moving into physics?
macladdy, I have once fallen in the same trap. I did my engineering thinking on the same line.
I don’t know how courses are designed and what flexibility is offered in your country, but if it’s not much, you will end up loosing 4 years. They say the golden time for physics is in ur 20's. If...
hi, I've been software engineer for the last 3 years. I graduated in industrial engineering with average scores in 2006. i was always passionate about physics, but it took me a while in knowing what my true calling is (i am 27 now!). but now that I've got myself into a mess, i am eager to change...
Francois, i fit in perfectly with the description that you have mentioned. I am a programmer myself with a degree in industrial engineering with keen interest in physics, the only difference being 6-8 hrs of work after work. really inspiring, how do u manage?
with the kind of effort you are...
