Thank you for the response. I am in the US, definitely in an "academic" oriented program. There is really no difference in the core classes for the PhD and MS students so all I have been doing is lectures and homework. Lots and lots of homework. And lots of homework. Which I am really...
Thanks for the words of encouragement! With the end of the semester being close, perhaps I really will just try harder and maybe I'll start understanding things and I'll enjoy physics again. I'm just so overwhelmed by the material and I don't think I'll ever use it for careers that (now) sound...
Thank you for your input. I am a year along, almost done with the semester, so perhaps it'd be worth it to stick it out and do a PhD in a field I'd really like to work in if I can't find anything to do with my MS.
I'm currently trying to put some time and effort into learning new skills...
Not to be a downer, but currently being in a Masters program in for high energy density physics, I can tell you that my career options are not very promising. If I could go back and reapply to a different program, I would have done something in engineering, geophysics, or atmospheric science...
I currently have a BS in Physics and am working on my Masters...which isn't going so well for me. Would I be better served dropping out of the Masters and trying to find decent work? Or would I be better served just finishing and then finding work. In other words, is at least a Masters pretty...
Hello,
I'm currently in my second semester of a Masters in Physics program. I hadn't given much thought to careers before I started, but now that I've been looking into them, I think I 'd most enjoy Exploration Geophysics. Is it likely that I'll find a job in it with a Masters in Physics...
