    Physics or Computer Science? Which Degree Should I Choose? [Urgent]

    Then i guess you have your career answer here. bu then don't be so rigid, your choices may change over the period. anyway, if you are confused between physics and cs the i think you should go over the subjects they teach and a familiarize yourself with both. and chose what you like best.

    Physics or Computer Science? Which Degree Should I Choose? [Urgent]

    It doesn't necessarily mean that. it depends on a lot of factors, from where u got ur degree, ur resume and a lot of other things. the thing is, at this point you should ask your self what u want to see yourself doing 40 years down the line? is it the money or work satisfaction?

    Physics or Computer Science? Which Degree Should I Choose? [Urgent]

    It takes 5 years. and its not exactly without masters. masters degree come along the way. so the first one or two year is course work and the last 3 years for research. as it is well-known R&D jobs don't pay as well as managerial jobs unless you are very experienced and at a very high position...

    Physics or Computer Science? Which Degree Should I Choose? [Urgent]

    Thats perfectly possible. in fact you can directly get into a PhD program without doing masters first. the same is the case for physics.

    Engineering PhD in physics after engineering career?

    theres no separate application for theory programs. n fact, you can write in your statement of purpose which field interests you and coincides with your background, but it is only after spending 2 yrs in the phd program that you actually decide your field. meanwhile, summer internships, RAs, TAs...

    Schools Reagrding Transfer to another grad school

    I have heard this is extremely rare. i had even mailed schools like Stanford asking about transfers, and they said they absolutely did not encourage transfers. i don't have much physics background, as i am an engineering student so i guess if ido get a transfer around 3rd sem, i won't mind...
