    Programs How to enter the Physics path; after getting an unrelated degree.

    I've done a bit more reading... and I guess this isn't as big of a deal as I was thinking. I had happened upon an article that made it sound like a whole ordeal, and it just kind of made me think twice, but I guess a lot of that was unfounded. Thank you for the responses and the help.

    Programs How to enter the Physics path; after getting an unrelated degree.

    Just if it is difficult or not to get into an undergraduate program when you already have a bachelor's degree, I suppose. And if there are any differences or hurdles I should be aware of. I don't know what specifically to ask for, because that's what I'm unsure about. I've heard some...

    Programs How to enter the Physics path; after getting an unrelated degree.

    I would have absolutely no problem with beginning at the undergraduate level again. However, I've heard this can be difficult (but I think they might have just meant for loans, which would not be a problem for me). Also, I'm curious about getting into an undergraduate school. Would I need to...

    Programs How to enter the Physics path; after getting an unrelated degree.

    Let me just state my situation. I got a bachelor's degree recently, and I've been looking for work. However, the past several years I've been back and forth on wanting to study physics. If I did want to, I'm unsure how I would go about that. I guess I'm technically not an undergraduate...

    Great web resource for math and more that I just found

    Has anyone tried out any of these lessons? Are they any good?

    Programs Is it possible to complete a physics bachelor degree in 2 years only ?

    Thank you for the responses. @carboy79 How are you liking the classes so far? And how has your schedule been? Would working part-time be out of the question for your pace?

    Thats a far from boring story. It sounds like you've led an incredibly diverse life. I hope my own ends up as interesting.

    Programs Is it possible to complete a physics bachelor degree in 2 years only ?

    I have a somewhat related question. I already have a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field. Since I won't have to take any general education classes, about how long would it take to get a bachelor's in physics. I definitely don't want to rush it, I'm just curious about the time frame I could...

    Can you have too many interests?

    Yeah. Discipline is something I do find myself lacking sometimes. Its not when something is difficult though, its when the interesting or complicated part is done, and all that is left is the most time consuming, yet bland aspect. Thats when I tend to just switch off. I understand that forging...

    Can a Ball Slide Rather Than Roll Down an Accelerating Inclined Plane?

    Isn't this just a static friction equation? Round objects spin on a surface because they are not applying enough force to break the static friction. If the force required to break this static friction is so low that the ball can break it easily, it should just slide as opposed to rolling.

    Can you have too many interests?

    It does in a way, and its kind of what I already expected. I just need to find the topic that I want to be most involved with, and then go for broke. That last point you have there is something I've realized to be very important. The: "The system for grading in mathematics is a whole lot less...

    Can you have too many interests?

    Well, I guess I'm afraid that will become my problem. For years I thought if there was anything I would always want to do, it would be designing video games. While it is still an interest of mine, lately I've found myself more interested in the technical aspects; the programming and math. And...

    Can you have too many interests?

    I am constantly curious. Probably something most people in the Sciences have in common, but I feel it presents certain logistical difficulties. My curiosity has led to me developing a wide variety of skills, and I am always interested in learning more. These kind of 'diversions' clash with...

    B.F.A. Pursuing Physics: Paths & Advice

    I think I am a bit of an odd case, but I might not be. I have a B.F.A., no joke. When I was young I recognized that other people recognized that I was skilled in drawing. I think that gave me a bit of tunnel vision. Even though I pursued other interests, I always thought of myself as an artist...
