[QUOTE="chiro, post: 5493586, member: 157252"] Hey Mepris. What is the reason you want to do the physics course? One of the best ways to assess motivation is to understand what situations would make a person change their course of action and why that is. If you can understand what would change your course of action you understand what motivates you and if everything doesn't change it then you know that it's probably a good thing to pursue. We can't really answer that for you (and the answer may even be something you don't want to share with us) but I think with a bit of time and reflection that could help you a lot in understanding the choices you have to make. You can also do the same thing for alternative choices (i.e, applying the same reasoning to the new situations you find yourself in). Just be aware that degrees translate in ways you may not realize at this point. Depending on your personality and other interests/skills you could be eligible for a myriad of different jobs. You have to be open to that possibility and realize that you are probably thinking about the typical "physicist" role which is actually a very specialized and unique role. Think about all the kinds of roles that can utilize a technical understanding/background without needing those specialized skills and the number of jobs you will consider should increase dramatically. Instead of thinking of "physicist" think of analyst, programmer, technical sales, teacher, and many other roles. [/QUOTE]
