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.
