AI Thread Summary
Graduating soon raises concerns about job prospects, especially without work experience. While currently working as a web developer, there is uncertainty about its relevance to desired job roles. It's important to consider entry-level positions that align with career goals, despite the lack of experience. Settling for any job for experience is tempting, but aiming higher is advisable. The discussion highlights the impact of GPA on job opportunities and the missed chance for internships earlier in the academic career. Additionally, the cost of living in different areas influences salary expectations, emphasizing the need to research local job markets to determine a suitable minimum wage.

I should be graduating this year and I'm worry about getting jobs. I have no work experience right now. I'm working as a web developer but I dn't think it is related. What kind of jobs should I go for? Eventhough I have no work experience, what is the minimum wage I should settle for? I have the tendency to settle for any job to get experience but I think i should aim higher. My gpa is nothing special btw.

It depends on where you live. If cost of living is higher, you'll need a higher salary, of course.

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
