Hey all,
I basically am at a crossroads. I recently received my undergraduate degree in physics, and now I'm looking at either attending graduate school or some other unknown. To me graduate school is the preference, but my GPA is quite low at 2.759. I will apply to two different medical physics programs that I know of that have stipulations that they might take students with a GPA this low.
I guess I'm just wondering about alternatives, because I'm [rightly] worried about ever getting into a grad school. I bought into the whole do anything with a physics degree, but became dispirited by the actual coursework. Its not that I'm disinterested, but my professor was awkward to speak to so I sought little help for harder material, and was never really self motivated. Are there many possibilities still open to me?
Locally I can get a job as a physical scientist in the coal mines probably, but that's frankly quite low on my list of jobs. Currently I'm a high school teacher at a private school, and just got my substitute license for public schools. I can already tell its not really for me, though.
