Confusion on which Master's degree area to choose

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting a suitable master's program that aligns with interests in fluids, particularly compressible fluids, turbomachinery, rockets, and sectors related to gas turbines, jet engines, and aerospace. The individual is in their final year of a Mechanical Engineering bachelor's degree and is exploring various universities and specializations. They seek guidance on which master's course would provide the best opportunities to work across these fields, acknowledging that no single program may cover all their interests comprehensively.

Hello all, I am trying to search for different areas to do masters which would match my interests. I am broadly interested in , fluids (aligned to general aerodynamics) especially compressible fluids , turbomachinery, rockets. I am thinking to work in some sector related to gas turbines or jet engines or related to aero plane engines, or space sector. There seem to be few different specializations which cover them more or less. And I think I won't be able to do a masters course which covers all of them, I want to know which would be a better masters course for me to apply to so that I would still have choice to work in any of the above mentioned areas

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
