Programs Graduating HS senior - independent study, dual major

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the engineering job market and educational pathways for aspiring engineers. A participant shares their experience of an uncle who secured a job in civil engineering after obtaining a bachelor's degree from the University of California San Diego and passing relevant tests. The conversation suggests that while minoring in electrical engineering (EE) and majoring in physics is feasible, it may be more practical to major in EE and minor in physics for better job prospects in the engineering field.

I'm not incredibly well versed in the engineering job market but my uncle got his bachelor's in engineering from University of California San Diego and was able to get a job several years later after he completed some civil engineering tests. I think you'd be okay just minoring in EE and then majoring in Physics, but it'd be more practical for you to simply major in EE and minor physics, wouldn't it?
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...
