AI Thread Summary
A university degree in physics or mathematics opens up various career paths, including advanced studies in fields like astronomy for physics graduates. Other potential job opportunities include roles in engineering, data analysis, finance, and academia. Mathematics graduates can pursue careers in statistics, actuarial science, and computer science, among others. The discussion emphasizes the importance of aligning personal interests and strengths with career choices, particularly for students who enjoy the challenge of problem-solving in math and sciences. While pursuing a master's degree in physics may enhance job prospects, it is noted that a degree alone does not guarantee employment. Active engagement in related electives, such as nutrition and exercise, can also complement a science-focused education, even if a direct career in that field is not the primary goal.

Hey, I was wondering what you can do with a university degree in physics or mathematics. I know one thing you can do with a physics degree is get a masters degree in astronomy, what are other things you can do, as well as things you can do with a mathematics degree? I really enjoy maths and sciences, I love the challenge that they have, it's not like english class where there is no "wrong answer" there is a right or wrong, for the most part.

I was wondering what kind've jobs I could pursue with this attitude, if you guys could help me out that'd be great. I'm going into grade 12 in September, so I need to make my decision eventually. I'm taking Chemistry, Bio, Physics, Kinesiology, Calculus, Data Management, and I've already finished Functions and Advanced Functions.

Also, I forgot to mention, I am a very active person and really enjoy learning about nutrition/exercising. But I don't see a job I'd enjoy from that field, but I would enjoy taking some courses on it as electives or something in university. Thanks.

I have but it's very vague, like if I get a masters in physics, will I be able to get a good job, or would that be a waste of my time?
 
I think you're coming at it from the wrong direction. A degree is not a guarantee of a job.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
