Hello, I am a student nearly 17 years old, i have recently started doing my first class in coursera Introduction to astronomy from Duke university. Do you guys have some interesting lessons to start later? I am intersting in mathematics, physics and computer science, logic and foundations of mathematics. Any suggestions would be interesting. I don't care if the lesson is self paced or not.However i don't have much free time left to do what i want due to school obligations and extracurricular lessons :( i just want to learn some cool stuff that will help me later with my university studies, enrich my CV and generally speaking make me "complete"

I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
