AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an article highlighting the journey of a physicist who transitioned from finance back to physics, drawing parallels to the concept of "two-fish." The article suggests that Mark Mueller, possibly the same individual referenced, exemplifies a successful return to the field after exploring financial opportunities. Participants express admiration for those who have managed to leave finance and return to physics, noting that this trend may inspire others to follow suit. The conversation touches on the broader implications of physicists seeking financial success and the potential for a wave of similar transitions in the future.

It's nice to see someone make it out of the tunnel. It's been said that the big question of the atomic bomb is whether or not it was possible, and once it was shown to be possible then every thing else is details.

You have a bunch of physicists that want to cash out, so it's nice to see someone that did. And he isn't the first. I know someone else of roughly the same age, that decided to cash out. Looking at the dates of graduation, it seems that Mark Mueller was one of the first people "into the tunnel" so there are going to be a lot of people following him.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Is a career in Optics/Photonics engineering right for me?'

So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
