want to do Ph D in this area

I am a ph.d student ,but i like to start there.

I did Mphil in physics and spl in material science but Now I would like to cont. for phd

i want to do Ph D in this area

i m first year student in department of physics in iit kanpur.i want to do phd from some gud university out side india .so for dis wot can i do .i can get scholarship for phd if yes how much . n wot r d papers i hav to clear for dat

This is my first year of college, and this is the first time I hear scary things about a Ph. D in physics , and then some. I’ve come too far to give all this up… but I don’t want to be 30 with 200 g’s in debt trying to get by on life.

I’m very confused on what path I should choose. I have three options right now: pursuing a master’s degree in computer science (which is something I’m really interested in) or pursuing a M.B.A. (which is also something I’m interested in). What I’m really interested in is the study of time. I’m thought about getting the master’s degree in computer science & then going for a ph.d. in computational physics but honestly I’m not that interested in the study of stars and planets. I mainly interested in the study of time. I am interested in making money tough and with the MBA I think I can make some money and pay off some of my debts. I really don’t know which way to go. Any advice?

I have a PhD in physics and it’s not pretty. You will work endlessly for about 10 years on some of the hardest stuff you will ever face. Then you will graduate and be unemployed. Your chances for employment are very small. The best thing for you to do is get an engineering degree.

No one in any HR anywhere understands what a physicist does. And if they do, they expect you to have 5 years experience even with a PhD. The catch is there are no entry-level positions for a PhD because you cost too much by now. So you never get hired and end up doing something else with about $100,000 of degree sitting on the wall going to waste.

And don’t trust AIP or SPS. They will tell you all of the hype to get you to do a degree in physics. Truth is when you graduate and stop paying the membership fees, you drop off their radar, so they aren’t even tracking the true physics unemployment rate.

Hey I have a great enthusiasm fpr physics and cosmology in genral. I am 23 and would like to know if its still possable for me to get a phd in physics. I was a very able student at school but kind of turned my back on work as it wasnt cool. Now that i have matured, and have wiped the shit out of my eyes I realy want to do this, but as I said is it still possable at my age?

The most revolutionary theory which builds a bridge between the Newtonian gravitational theory dominating in the world of stellar objects and Einstein’s theory of quantum particles in the most fabulous and simplest manner. All great philosophers always wanted to give a single unified theory which governs the whole Universe, and String theory which proposes 10 dimensions in all, goes a long way in achieving this goal. I was inspired by a documentary named “The Elegant Universe” by Brian Greene, a renowned name in the arena of String theorists, sponsored by PBS. Do watch this, its available online.

PhD could provide me the platform to learn and research more on this; I would love to do this some day – understand the Universe.
