Hello, I'm new.
I'm 25 yrs old and am currently doing a M.S. in comp sci (after a BA in Chemistry/B.S. in math and concentration in physics).
My prof mainly wanted to go for Physical Chemistry; which as alluring as it may be, does not seem viable outside academia.
Thus, I chose comp sci and would like to do a thesis that pertains to computational physical science.
My questions are as follows:
1) I really want to work in a scientific/engineering -type programming/software engineering job. Will my background + a thesis in this help?
2) Do such jobs exists without PhD ?
3) Would it help to take an addition Physical science class? (for example Theorhetical Mechanics/Math Physics/E&M) to widen my underlying knowledge?
4) Is a thesis worth it, if I can't find a job within these specialties? I.E. will it demonstrate hard-work/ability to grasp complex matters?
Thank you,
Michael
