Greetings,

Before you say, “Google it”, let me tell you about my situation:

I have advanced Lou Gehrig's disease, Motor Neuron Disease.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,

Gimblestich, USA

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
