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.

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
