I figure that, while I may get accepted into a masters in mechanical/aerospace, I would need to take several undergraduate engineering courses. For applied physics I would be able to jump straight into grad level courses.

Well to start, part of me figuring out what I want to do is asking experienced people to weigh in. And I am having a difficult time deciding what field I want to dedicate the rest of my life to so I've decided its better to be partially qualified for many careers than to be very qualified for a...

Hello all, I am looking for some career advice. My current situation is that I am graduating with my bachelors in physics and chemistry in December of this year. My goal is to get a masters degree in a field that would enable me to work as an engineer at one of the aerospace/defense contractors...

It is hard for me to tell exactly. Physics is still very exciting to me and I am still very motivated to find a career in which I can use my physics knowledge. The reason I say that is because it seems like a masters in physics is not very sought after in the job market. I have found very few...

I started off as an economics majors which, after being inspired by an astronomy course, I changed to chemistry at the end of my sophomore year. I realized I hated chemistry and began a physics major (which is what I actually wanted to do after the astronomy class but was scared of the math) in...

I will be applying to masters programs in December and am having a very tough time deciding what it is I want to do. I am very against limiting my self to a narrow field because my interests have changed countless times in college.

Well for a while my plan for a while was to do an advanced degree in physics. But now I am too burnt out for a PhD (5.5 years of undergrad) and would be worried for my job prospects with a masters in physics. Applied math would open the door to a career in statistics, modeling, and/or data...

Hi all, so I am currently finishing a double major in physics and chemistry. I want to change paths here slightly and do a masters in applied math. My undergraduate math classes consisted of the usual calc 1, 2, and 3, differential equations, and linear algebra and a semester of math physics...
