I know the USA and Ireland have a working holiday visa scheme where you can come work for a year. At the very least you could come and try to get an internship and go from there. Depending on the company and how well you do, they might be willing to sponsor you. Plus, you'd get a taste of what...

Eng grad school and bad grades I'm an undergrad senior who is a *physics major. I plan on going into engineering for graduate school. Last year I took an advance physics lab course and got a C because I was overworked. I don't really want to take the class again because I really didn't...

I am currently a senior at a no name liberal arts college studying math and physics. I am unsure about want I want to do in the future, but I am considering engineering for graduate school in the far future. Field yet to be determined. Last year I took an advance physics lab course and...

Bipolarity: I'm not particularity frustrated with math, in fact I'm a math major. I'm just disappointed about not being excited about math or physics anymore. If read an interesting article about involving any science, I get all excited about it, but as soon as it's actually time to put in some...

I do feel a little dissapointed about my studies. For one, I thought I'd have some vague idea of what I want to do by now, but everything in science just sounds like too much hard work with little utility. That's how I feel about my classes and that's how I feel about getting a job in that's...

I want to thank you all for responding. I am definitely going to try and tackle the depression problem first, I can barely think straight sometimes because of it. ThereIam: I was actually using physics and my other coursework to push my other problems to the back of my mind. It worked until I...

Thank you for replying! I've gone to the guidance counsellor's office a few times and I didn't find it too helpful. I think I just need a change of scenery. Taking time off isn't really an option, I'm so close to finishing both degrees. I'm thinking about studying abroad for a semester...

Considering leaving science, HELP! I'm currently a junior studying math and physics in the US and I've been trying to figure out what I want to do after I finish my undergraduate degree. So far I've done 2 REU's, one at an observatory and one in mathematics, and honestly I didn't enjoy them at...
