    Economic Reality

The discussion centers on the disparity in educational opportunities, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who must balance work and survival with their academic pursuits. The original poster expresses gratitude for their ability to focus solely on learning due to financial stability, while questioning how others manage to earn degrees under economic constraints. There is a strong sentiment that many potential scientists and innovators are hindered by their need to prioritize survival over education. The conversation also touches on the belief that systemic issues within the monetary system contribute to this inequality, suggesting that basic survival could be achievable for everyone with current knowledge. However, a response indicates that the topic may be better suited for a general discussion rather than an academic guidance forum, implying skepticism towards the more conspiratorial aspects of the original post.

I have to gain a real deep understanding of everything I'm learning in university and luckily for me I don't have to work to survive so I can put all day every day into learning which is what I like to do because I love learning about scientific fields. How do other people that aren't as fortunate as me manage to get college degrees though? I'd say there are plenty of people who would become scientists and change the world for the better but they can't because most of their time goes into survival. We seem to be economically enslaved and it doesn't have to be this way because with the knowledge we have today basic survival can be covered for every single person on the planet. I suspect foul play from the people involved in the maintenance of the monetary system and other control structures.

hiiiiiiii
Its good that there are people like you and me still around .....
I share the same thinking (almost I guess )
 
The seems like it belongs less in 'Academic Guidance' and more in the general section. This section is for school, not for crackpot theories about government.
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
