AI Thread Summary
Concerns about college, graduate school, and career prospects are prevalent, but achieving top performance in academic settings can alleviate these worries. Anxiety regarding job opportunities often stems from not meeting academic standards or insufficient effort. The discussion emphasizes that individuals with higher education degrees who are unemployed may not be putting in enough effort to secure employment. Additionally, significant changes in circumstances can occur within a short time frame, suggesting that persistence and dedication can lead to improved outcomes.

There is a lot of fear and worry on here about colleges, grad school, work, career prospects. If you aim to be, and are, in the top handful of students in every class and exam you take, there should never be any worries. Anxiety and lack of career prospects come when you are not good enough, or don't work hard enough, at what you are doing.

Anyone with a bachelors, masters, or even a phd who is unemployed, simply isn't trying hard enough to get work.

amazing how much could change in two and a half years.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
