Can't Decide? Here's How to Find an Industry Combining Your Interests

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a career that integrates interests in mathematics, robotics, astrophysics, electrical engineering, drawing, and radioactivity. Participants suggest that it may not be necessary to find a single occupation that encompasses all these interests. A general education in physics or engineering is recommended, allowing for specialization as one discovers strengths and passions. Nuclear engineering is mentioned as a potential field, particularly in relation to robotics, although there is skepticism about the feasibility of a career that combines all interests equally. Designing robots for space agencies like NASA is proposed as a more fitting option for those with a strong inclination towards robotics and space exploration.

hello guys
I have great interest in Maths,Robotics,Astrophysics,electrical engineering,drawing,radioactivity
where can i get an industry involving all these!

There's no rule that says you have to find an occupation that combines each and every one of your interests. Depending on where you are in your career/education right now, I might recommend looking at a general education avenue in either physics or engineering and then as you advance, you can move into a specific field depending on where you discover strengths and more intense interests.
 


What field can i join

Sounds to me like you would want to get into an industry like nuclear engineering but applied to robotics. It might sound like a science fictiony thing because in all honesty I don't know if there is portable power systems engineering as a real study.

Nuclear engineering would probably be a good bet for you though. I know there's a couple of such engineers on here so maybe they can put forward what a typical day is like for you.
 


actually i have little interest in nuclear engineering than at robotics
 


I think you're being quite vague, and I doubt there is anything that incorporates all of those subjects in equal proportions. However, designing robots for NASA or another space-related agency or organization might fit.
 
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...
