    Other Is Pursuing a Career in Physics the Right Choice for Me?

    hey there, thank you for trying to help! since I have done only a bachelors and that too a triple major (Physics with Maths & computer science), I doubt if McKinsey or any other consulting groups would be interested in someone with that and mediocre grades. Moreover, from what I have heard, if...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    That is a good option. Although at this point I do not want more education 1 year later, maybe that would be a feasible option! I have to realize sometime soon that I can't have everything and just do what I can to best live my life, this suggestion has provided me with another meaningful...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    It is at this point that I realized I am asking the wrong question and I changed my questions to something somewhat abstract i.e., What mindset/outlook should I have while getting a job? Am I thinking about this the right way? Should I even be looking for satisfaction in jobs or should I look...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    I must say the weeding out 'principle' explains a lot (or at least hints at what one should consider while thinking abt) Thank you very much for your help!

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    Roger that Sir! I actually am looking for a job right now and even for an MBA I would need some experience, so that won't be a problem. I must say your answer seems to be the best course of action for me right now. Find a job and evaluate yourself, that's excellent. Thank you Sir!

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    Yes sir! You are right abt that, but I don't have much of a value with a degree I have now, I will paid wages which are so low that it's comedic in itself. But I do need work experience for an MBA and I am certainly getting a job before I go for an MBA, so, that's the route I am taking right...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    That's definitely meaningful, but I don't think that's meaningful for me in the same way. Moreover in India these types of trades are looked down upon and paid pretty less (paid less part being a deal-breaker for me) I have an interesting story though, I have this friend who gave up his...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    Sir, I don't want to argumentative and I know you are trying to guide me the best you can, but, I am finding this data from Career Explorer and I think most of the ratings calculated are from self-reported data. Everything finance related is either in the low or mid 2.0s, whereas for Physicists...

    Finding Meaningful Work: Career Advice for Young Scientists

    I am 23 right now and I was scouring the internet to decide on what to do next. I wanted to be a physicist for all my life but at this time that doesn't seem feasible to me at this time. I haven't been taking all that good care of my health recently and I want to never repeat that mistake again...

I just want to thank each and every one of you (especially the mentors and educational advisors) for you really did help me more than I could...

    Other Is Pursuing a Career in Physics the Right Choice for Me?

    I gave up sir! I think I took the right decision. I did what I could while studying physics but laziness and lack of hard work cased me to fail. I don't completely regret it (giving physics a shot) and I am somewhat happy I am quitting it now rather than later (although Ik for a fact that I...

    Other Is Pursuing a Career in Physics the Right Choice for Me?

    Sorry for the late reply sir, I have been having a full plate last few months with unenviable tasks of self-discovery and reflection. Also, finance apparently seems to have a low "meaningfulness rating" but of all the categories in finance people who help families/individuals manage their...

    replying to @StatGuy2000 to the message which is quoted by @CrysPhys I think it my duty to somewhat inform you that my caste and religion doesn't really play a major role in the job I may get. It might play a small role in the rural areas, but generally it doesn't hold me back. In fact if...

    Other Is Pursuing a Career in Physics the Right Choice for Me?

    I am 23 and no I have never had a job, but that's not considered unusual here in India. You are expected to finish your studies and then get a job. But in this at least, I prefer the western work cultural norms. A part-time job during summer vacations might have helped me widen my horizon and be...

    Sorry for the really late reply! I have got a ton of things going on right now. Here most of the students who attend MBA colleges are freshers and 2-3 years of work experience is considered ideal for a 2 years MBA whereas for executive MBA 5 years is considered ideal. I must thank you for...
