Hi,
To give some background, I am about to hopefully start 2nd year of high school in telecommunications and I was considering transfering to computer science. But I would also like to start a career or some other job based around physics. How would I go about doing that? Should I start with an application to a college, providing some work or research, or should I attempt going for degrees before enlisting? I am unexperienced in education paths that I should be taking.
Thank you.

Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Is it possible to get a scholarship in other states, of this matter?

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
