I'm taking my next steps as my main dream is to have a pHD work in a research setting like a lab that's harder said then done.

I got accepted into a BS program that's nuclear medicine and I'll be doing some more physics as well so hopefully the goal is to learn more physics and there applications as well as get a temporary career is nuclear medicine as I work towards that goal of pHD in a research setting.

Shout out South College!

Um...maybe you should wait to have accomplished that before lecturing the rest of us on how easy it is.

As one of our number would say, Lordy.

yeah my bad, I didn't even realize I put harder instead of easier.

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...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
