Hi I am an 1 year engineering student at the University of British Columbia. I am thinking about going to engineering physics but I want to know what kind of career possibility awaits me if I do go down this path. Is engineering physics worth the trouble?

If you like both physics and electrical or materials engineering then engineering physics is perfect for you!

And yes there are plenty of opportunities afterwards. Mostly in applied physics and electrical/materials engineering though.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

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.
