Hi people!

First of all, thanks for the patience and sorry for my bad english, It's not my native tongue, i'll do my best not to mess up.

I want to share with you this doubt, and i think this is the correct thread.

I've been "paused" in my academic career for almost 5 years...meanwhile i started working. Now i managed to enter University of Aveiro (Portugal)...I have to coordinate my job with my academic career. I got accepted in Physics (with a Master degree). Any valuable advices, maybe people in the same situation than me?

Thanks.
