AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the possibility for a Canadian individual to relocate to a tropical country for work, particularly in physics or related fields. The desire for a change in culture and scenery, along with the appeal of warmer weather, drives this interest. Suggestions for potential destinations include the US, specifically Florida and Arizona, which offer warmer climates. Hawaii is mentioned as a possible location due to its university and research opportunities. Other countries like Japan, Singapore, and India are also recommended for their vibrant cultures and food. The individual is nearing graduation in mathematical physics and is open to exploring job opportunities both abroad and locally in Vancouver.

Are there any tropical countries into which a person from Canada could move and find work. Preferably physics related work (or science/technology in general), but not necessarily.

Thanks in advance.

Winter getting to you ? Move here to Vancouver - no work, but you don't have to shovel as much snow!

What about the US? Florida is almost tropical, Arizona is warm but a nicer climate!

Partly winter, partly that I've spent my entire life here, and it would be pretty cool to go live in a different culture for a few years at least. I live in an appartment, so I don't have to shovel snow.

Mostly for the change of culture and scenery, but also for the weather. I'm graduating (bachelors) in a few months, and don't have any job offers around here yet, and I got the (crazy?) idea that it would be fun to move to the tropics for a few years/decades (depending how well I like living there).

Though if you know of any good jobs in Vancouver, let me know, I'd be interested in that too. My major is mathematical physics, I've done some geophys, and some numerical modelling ;)

You could try somewhere like Japan or something. Or Singapore...
 
Or India. Great food there, too.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
