Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the pathways to becoming a developer in the field of innovation, particularly focusing on the intersection of technology, engineering, and physics. Participants explore the educational requirements, potential career paths, and the nature of development work in relation to scientific and engineering disciplines.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to innovate and questions the lack of formal degrees specifically in "development," suggesting a need for training in creating new technologies.
  • Another participant asserts that there is no specific "development" degree available.
  • It is suggested that obtaining a degree in electrical engineering could be beneficial, although the nature of the work may not solely focus on innovation.
  • Some participants propose that science or engineering majors are essential for those looking to invent or discover new devices or theories.
  • A question is raised about the necessity of specialization in a particular field for development work, with a later reply emphasizing that specialization is practical due to the vast amount of knowledge required.
  • A participant mentions their background in Electronics Engineering Technology and interest in High Energy Physics, indicating a personal connection to the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that a background in science or engineering is important for development work, but there is disagreement regarding the necessity of specialization and the existence of a dedicated "development" degree.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the nature of development work and the educational pathways may not be fully explored, and the discussion does not resolve the question of which specific fields may offer better financial prospects for physicists.

I want to do something in thefield on onnovation. I want to be the first to develop something. There's all sorts of degrees in technology,engineering and the sciences but none(that I know of) in Development.

There's lots of courses and and laboratories in research but what about development> How do you go about becoming a person that develops some new technology? And multimatley important who do you work for? I'm thinking of becoming a physicist but there a certain obstacle...pay.From what I understand they don't get paid much. Is there a certain kind of physicist that gets paid nicely? And is there anywhere in the development field that a physicist can work?

I'm doing this cause the 21st century arises. We are at the beginning of some phenomenal exsistence. Who knows what will come about in the next 10-20 years. We need to start training people to create newnessand release their mind.

there's no such thing as a "development" degree.
 
Get a degree in electrical engineering... However, you won't work as someone who just sits around thinking of new things. They may come to you though while you work...
 
If you want to invent/ discover and new device/theory. Science or Engineerig majors will be for you. Engineers and scientists ARE the developers of new theories/ technology
 
DO I have to specialize in a certain field or can I develop anything?

As a practical matter, of course, you will need to specialize. You cannot become an expert in everything, as there is simply far, far, too much for anyone person to learn or to do.

Do you have a degree in science or engineering? Do you plan on getting one? You'll probably need it.

A studied a little bit of Electronics Engineering Technology. I was to get into Hi Energy Physics.
