hi everyone, I am 30 years old and always had a affinity for physics. i was wondering since i was never any good at school, what career options would you recomend.
Are you asking in general or for a physics career path? The first must be dependent on what you are interested in, the second is unlikely to come to fruition without a formal physics education.Puriel99 said:what career options would you recomend

Can you share what kinds of work experience you do have so far? If you'd prefer not to, that's okay.Puriel99 said:hi everyone, I am 30 years old and always had a affinity for physics. i was wondering since i was never any good at school, what career options would you recomend.

Some career options for physics-loving non-scholarly 30-year-olds include becoming a science writer or journalist, working in science communication or outreach, pursuing a career in patent law or intellectual property, working in technical sales or consulting, or transitioning into a related field such as data analysis or engineering.
Yes, while a formal education in physics can provide a strong foundation for a career in the field, there are many opportunities for those without a degree to still have a successful career in physics-related fields. Many employers value skills and experience over formal education, and there are also options for continuing education and professional development in the field.
Yes, there are opportunities for 30-year-olds to enter the field of physics without starting from scratch. For example, someone with a background in a related field such as engineering or mathematics could pursue a graduate degree in physics or a physics-related field. There are also options for short-term certificate programs or online courses to gain additional skills and knowledge.
Some important skills and qualities for a career in physics include critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematical and analytical skills, attention to detail, curiosity, and the ability to communicate complex ideas to others. It is also important to have a strong interest and passion for physics and a willingness to continuously learn and adapt to new technologies and advancements in the field.
Yes, there are networking and mentorship opportunities for non-scholarly adults interested in physics. Some organizations, such as the American Physical Society, offer mentorship programs for adults interested in physics careers. Attending conferences, workshops, and other events related to physics can also provide opportunities to network with professionals in the field and learn from their experiences.
