Earning potential is a tertiary concern for me. Most important is the acquisition of knowledge, and then making significant contributions to whatever facet of professional life I end up in. I would really prefer that facet to be part of science, though as I understand it very few physics...
I did say that I thought engineering might provide a neat contingency, but I understood that it would require a few additional years of schooling. After I've obtained a PhD (cart before the horse, I know) would it then be easier to get into an engineering grad program?
I not entirely sure I...
Also; I'm not entirely sure what a Fermi problem is, even after a bit of impromptu research. I'm a first year student guys. Tackling integration poses a challenge at this point xD
Alright, I thank you for the responses though they are tough pills to swallow :P
I really enjoy the theory, not application, so I'll not suffer an engineering career gladly. But, is it possible to find such work with a degree in physics should a tenure track not manifest? I'm not adverse to...
How slim are the odds of attaining a faculty position at any school, community or university? Can anyone offer insight? Any response is appreciated, and thank you in advance.
Hello forum! I'm a first-year physics student and after a recent Google session I have some concerns regarding that area of concentration.
I love science, especially the study of our natural world (though I am by large ignorant of contemporary theories), and math, as my username...
