Hi,
I'm currently in high school and I am contemplating careers, what I want to do after school etc. I find maths and physics very interesting, however my parents are concerned I won't be able to find a job if I do a degree in pure Physics/Maths. Hoping someone could comment on the career opportunities, job market for this path. Just thought I'd add, not very keen on finance.
Thanks in advance.
Yours
Stickynote.

I also plan on pursuing grad school when I've completed my degree. It might just be my anxiety acting up a little, but with a lot of the government funding drying up for public science research broadly in the US, the 'industry' everyone keeps talking about when questions like this are...

Thread 'How to close the gap: From Independent Research to Academic Discourse'

Hello Physics Forums Community, I'm hoping to draw upon the community's collective wisdom regarding a procedural challenge that I believe many independent researchers face. I'm working on a self-contained theoretical framework from a foundational starting point. The work touches upon concepts from general relativity, quantum foundations, and cosmology, attempting to connect them based on a single relational principle. It has now reached a point, where some parameter free values seemingly...
