AI Thread Summary
Physics graduates have various options for master's studies outside of traditional physics, particularly in fields that offer good employment prospects and opportunities for outdoor work. Engineering is a broad field, but specific areas like hydrography and petroleum geophysics are highlighted as appealing due to their outdoor nature and job security. Environmental engineering and environmental science are also viable options, focusing on sustainability and ecological issues. Other potential fields include geospatial technology, renewable energy, and civil engineering, which can provide a mix of outdoor work and specialized skills. The emphasis is on finding a niche that combines personal interests with strong job market demand.

I'm interested in what the possibilities are for physics grads regarding masters studies, specifically for those not continuing with physics. I know that engineering is an option, but that's a bit vague. It's such a big field and I would like to specialise anyway (part of my reason for giving up physics is job security, so good-employment chances are also important). I like to travel and the idea of working outdoors and not in a lab really appeals! That's why I think survey work would suit me. So far I'v got
- hydrography
- petroleum geophysics

but I'm not sure. Are there any other options like these two?

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
