Thank you very much!!

That's a great idea, thank you

I mean, the actual sheet that I have my time mapped out in day-to-day is not that big, it breaks out my time into 30 minute chunks. I find that it works well enough for now. I really am just looking for something nicer looking and easier to deal with that will encapsulate several sheets :)

Hi All, Thank you for the wonderful replies on my other post, much appreciated and I will try to be of as much help as I can for others. I am in the midst of polishing up my system for time management and could use some help. Right now I use a big excel spreadsheet containing lots of lists...

That's such a massive undertaking, congratulations on doing that! May I ask, when did you start your PhD and what was your background? What was like financially speaking and did you have to balance that with having a family?

My perspective is that I should have stayed with physics and I regret switching to engineering to some extent, although it has the benefit of being more applicable. It sounds like you are unsure of how much value you can add making small contributions to the physics community via papers and/or...

I am not opposed to working long hours. Realistically, I am willing to work anywhere from 8-12 hours per day on weekdays, weekends here and there. Siemens or Lockheed-Martin sound like good options. Thank you!

I could definitely do that. I really just enjoyed the physics course material, it was so pure and at the time seemed so satisfying to learn which isn't everything but it's a big part of ones career.

I think that's a great perspective, what has your experience in physics been like so far?

I mean, I am not actually opposed to working weekends here and there. However, I believe there is more to life than just work and definitely want that to be more like the exception than the rule. I am thinking the professor route may be unrealistic based on the feedback I am getting here but we...

Great, thanks for the ideas! I think quantum computing could be a route that I am interesting in taking. What is the barrier to entry like in quantum/AI? I would be interested in a masters degree in EE as well.

Hi all, I am looking for some advice (high-level-ish). I fundamentally enjoyed the subject material as an undergrad majoring in Physics. However, I ended up making a late change to Electrical Engineering for the sake of job applicability. I have worked as an engineer for a couple of firms but...

Hey All, My name is Anthony Lathrop and I am an Electrical Engineer with a minor in physics exploring a career pivot into Physics. I live in Anacortes, WA and grew up in the Seattle area. It's a pleasure to introduce myself! If anyone wants to reach out and chat feel free.Anthony
