Should I Pursue a Master's in Physics Before Applying for a PhD?

[QUOTE="plasmon_shmasmon, post: 6022666, member: 620996"] I would ask, what do you want to do for a career? Why do you want a physics PhD? Not to be condescending, but you didn't mention any research interests, and that's literally all a PhD is... Regarding the masters, it's hard to say. Do you have to pay for it out of pocket? Is it in a research area that you want to pursue? What have people who have completed the program gone on to do? Is it so simple to transfer to a PhD? My advice recently has been think about what you want to do, not what degrees you want to get. With that as a starting point, then think about how to make yourself qualified for what you want to do.
