Is Getting a Masters in Physics Abroad the Solution to My Career Confusion?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges faced by an individual from India who feels disillusioned with the quality of education in local colleges, particularly in the context of pursuing a career in Physics. After completing an engineering degree, the individual experienced a lack of direction and creativity in their job, leading to a desire to return to their passion for Physics. They express a strong interest in pursuing a Master's degree in Physics but are uncertain about the application process and suitable colleges, both in India and abroad. The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is mentioned as a potential option, with the GATE entrance exam being a pathway for admission. However, there are concerns about the competitiveness of IISc and the perceived rigidity of Indian educators. The individual seeks guidance on navigating these challenges and exploring their options for further studies.

I m from India and 90% colleges in India, they suck...I was pretty much into science from beginning but then i joined my college and lost track of everything. Didn't study much and spent whole time introspecting. I guess that's what colleges are for, esp the graduate courses are for - you try to know yourself and everything else doesn't matter to you. However after completing engineer and trying my hand in all sorts of professions, and hell lot of introspection nothing really intrigues me now but Physics. I have been reading 11th grade physics books and trying somehow to get out of this Job, a euphemism for a Prison. Job is all about people skills and management - no creativity etc

SO I m planning to go for my masters and really confused as in how to go about it - want to go for Masters in Physics for sure, but don't know which college to go for and how should I apply to one abroad. Is there any suitable option here in India or not?

If someone can guide me with that it would be really helpful.

But thanks for replying.

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
