The discussion centers on an individual planning to pursue a second bachelor's degree in physics after completing a political science degree. They aim to graduate in two years and have outlined a rigorous course schedule, which includes advanced physics and mathematics classes. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of this schedule, particularly regarding the simultaneous enrollment in Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics, as well as the potential difficulty of taking Linear Algebra concurrently with these courses. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding prerequisites and suggest taking Linear Algebra before Quantum Mechanics due to its heavy reliance on linear algebra concepts. The discussion also touches on credit transfer policies for second degrees, with clarification that previously completed general education and elective requirements can facilitate a faster path to graduation. Overall, while the proposed schedule is deemed theoretically doable, there are warnings about the risks of burnout and the potential impact on academic performance, especially for someone returning to math and physics after a significant hiatus.
