Physics Research career on particle physics and quantum theory

AI Thread Summary
To pursue a career in particle physics or quantum theory, one should focus on obtaining higher degrees from leading institutions after completing a graduation in Physics. It is essential to have a strong foundation in quantum theory, as it underpins much of modern physics. Engaging with resources like ZapperZ's series "So you want to be a physicist" can provide valuable insights into the necessary steps and considerations for aspiring physicists. Understanding the breadth of quantum theory is crucial, as it encompasses a wide range of topics within physics.

Thank you friend
 
Quantum theory is a huge area - nearly everything in modern physics is based on quantum theory in some way. It is a bit like a chemist telling you "I'm studying chemicals".

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
