How did you find PF?
I was searching about how and where to do master in mathematical physics and wondering if a career in mathematical physics is reasonable for me. I saw this forum in Google and so here I am.
I am a physics graduate from Middle East Technical University in Turkey with 3.45/4.00 CGPA. I've always wanted to be a theoretical/mathematical physicist since elementary school. I took String Theory, General Relativity, Particle Physics courses in my undergraduate years. However, many of people around the internet say a career in academia is very competitive (and therefore, stressful), thus, I am not sure what to do now. I joined this forum to find an answer.

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
