Thanks again Chiro! To clarify: I was considering the patent option as a demonstration of a genuine interest in the appropriate field of engineering. This is interesting to know, that I should choose a career field that's disjoint from any side-projects (unless they are service-oriented?) that...

Hello all, I earned my BS in Physics and Mathematics (double major) with a 3.87 and a number of research experiences (Physics Simulation, CFD REU, and two other things). I have been accepted to a Computational Science MS program offered by a Mathematics Department. My plan is to focus on...

Hi Chiro! Thanks for all of your very thorough and thoughtful input! This should be generally useful, regardless of what I decide to do. It actually makes me think that the PhD program might be more useful than I might otherwise think. Although, with regards to patent infringement, are...

To Mr. Brodsky and Mr. Watters, Wow, unfortunately, you seem to be confirming something that I only realized after receiving my degree: that it does not matter what my intentions for pursuing the degree were (*), that the perspective of HR might be what is most important in being hired. I am...

To Mr. Watters, Would passing the FE exam (or initial PE exam, I'm unclear on the distinction between these) demonstrate a real desire to be an engineer and therefore sufficiently enhance the candidate's appearance on an application? In general, how CAN a physics degree-holder demonstrate that...

Hello all, I've gotten myself in quite a mess and how I might hope to resolve it is...questionable. I'm wondering about your input. Last Fall, I applied to PhD programs in (Applied) Math under the impression that I wanted to strive to become a professor in mathematics. Since accepting one...
