My gpa is around 3.4. I left it off my resume since that's considered poor for grad school, but perhaps it looks even worse if I leave it off? I've already applied to many big retail, financial and oil/gas companies. However, I haven't applied to that many startups I also already know R. I...

My BS is in physics. I've applied to jobs at many places, including the bay area, NY, Chicago, etc. I am completing my MS at a large state school.

I completed the first year of grad school in physics and then contemplated returning to get the master's or just drop out. I had some prior experience using C++ and C# and was getting interviews for C# developer roles, but could not pass technical interviews since I failed questions on data...

I'm not sure my question belongs here or in the physics section I'm aware that in addition to the poisson-boltzmann equation, there's also the Debye-Huckel approximation, which is used at low ionic strengths and dilute solutions. I also know that the Stern layer includes the finite size of ions...

I'm currently in a physics grad program and am interested in doing research where statistical analysis is involved by using R or SAS. What fields of physics research relies on this the most? Should I look into theory, computational, or experimental groups? Or perhaps observational astronomy?

I graduated with BS degrees in Physics and Applied Math and I then enrolled in a Physics PhD program. However, I took a leave of absence and am now looking for jobs I think I've only gotten a couple interviews for engineering positions, which were computer engineering/EE-related, but it...

I don't mind working on real world problems. In materials engineering as well? Yes, I heard CFD analysts don't have to hands-on work. But I was informed that materials/solid-state engineers need to have PhDs to do solely modeling/simulation work

I already graduated college. I heard that pretty much all EEs do at least some hands-on work, so that's why I want to know if MechE's or materials engineers don't all have to do hands-on work

I like using computations/modeling/simulation for many kinds of physical problems, whether it be for molecular dynamics simulations, CFD, DFT, thermal analysis, etc. However, I always did poorly in school with the experiments in labs and hands-on work. For example, I hated putting together...

I like using computations/modeling/simulation for many kinds of physical problems, whether it be for molecular dynamics simulations, CFD, DFT to determine the electronic structure and properties of materials, molecular dynamics, etc. I'm not interested in hands-on work as I hated my lab classes...

I like using computations/modeling/simulation for many kinds of physical problems, whether it be for molecular dynamics simulations, CFD, DFT to determine the electronic structure and properties of materials, electromagnetics, optics, etc. I'm not interested in things like circuits, antennas...

I'm currently in the middle of a Physics PhD program but I now want to drop out with a Masters. I'm considering a career as an materials engineer or EE, but I definitely want to focus more on using software than 'hands-on' work. I heard that power systems, signal processing, communications...

This is something that has bothered me a lot since I tend to overanalyze and worry alot. In college, I studied physics and math, but decided that I wanted to get into engineering, so I applied and got a job at a defense contractor. However, I was terminated quickly because I was unable to get an...
