I am trying to finish as soon as possible my master thesis, and at the same time working harder to earn more money to leave UK for US. I think I am taught enough. It's time I have to go...

Time you have to go where?

Are you sure you want to go to the US... the economy seems to be slowing down you know.

Um... I live around here.
 
I'm also Canadian, and have been entertaining the idea of (trying to) do my schooling in the US... Also, it's almost ridiculous to waste your time looking for a job in the Physics field within BC - open positions are few and far between.

Well, I also plan on doing my schooling in the US too.

I also hope to find a job there too, or maybe back in Canada.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
