I had the same issue in school. I was a second semester Junior in college before I switched from Chemistry to Physics.
A lot of Chemists and Physicists work together where I work. There are frequently disagreements about problems due to how differently each in their own field thinks. Ultimately...
I started applying to jobs a year before I graduated with my Physics B.S. (and a 'focus' in Material Science). I got a few interviews for different engineering jobs and even more with adjuster jobs at insurance companies. I applied to pretty much anything I thought my skills would be useful for...
Took me about 7 years to get my degree. I did switch majors pretty late in the game... But it was mainly because I was burned out. I had no trouble finding a job, and it didn't even come up in any interview questions. People seemed much more interested in what I know and how I can contribute...
My job is directly related to Material Science. It was my 'focus' area during my physics undergrad degree, but that was just a few extra classes on the subject. I am pretty much the only one in my group at work without a graduate degree, and I just feel much farther behind knowledge wise.
Yes, that is sort of how I took it. Also, this job is not his first. I'm not sure what previous jobs he has held, but those likely influence his opinion on the subject.
I am just looking for some opinions. I have been considering going to get my masters in Material Science (I have a B.S. in physics). I currently have a great job in the field, and it teaches me a ton. When getting my masters, I would keep the job, and they would even pay for a lot of it. I can't...
At work, most of our PhD folk are chemists, but a few are physics, including my boss. We do R&D of printed, flexible carbon electronics (mostly sensors).We also dabble with some nanoparticles and polymers.
My boss was hired due to his direct experience in carbon nanotubes that he worked on...
I have a bachelors degree in physics with a focus in material science.
I am not a typical representation of what a bachelors degree in physics will get one job-wise. I was just very lucky... although a specific focus does help.
I work in material science at a private company. We do semiconductors and printed carbon electronics (carbon nanutubes mainly) R&D.
We frequently put out new products, but we sell mostly to other companies, not to the public.
We do research and collaborations with other companies, such as...
I work in Material Physics. Most people at my work are from the chemistry field.
A few of us are from physics.
We are basically useless in their area, and them ours. But it is much easier for us to learn their part than it is the other way around.
A good balance is great in this field, but I...
My university did that too. I didn't find out until my last semester though...
I work in semiconductors and carbon electronics.
I really wish I would have known about it. I would have gone that route.
But, I am the opposite as I was a Physics student.
I think the physics will help you...
Where I work we use a whole lot of Python, a small amount of Labview, and an even smaller amount of C++.
I work in printed electronics R&D.
Once you learn one language it usually isn't too difficult to catch on to others.
As for Revature, I had a phone interview with them a long while ago. They...
If you have a high school degree, you can major in whatever program you want here.
I have never heard of needing specific classes from high school to declare a major in the US.
