Hi everyone! I’m a physics major with an associates in math and physics. I have two years before my bachelors in physics. I’m a veteran of USAF.

I want to get a high paying career to maintain the COL in San Diego.

Should I get a PhD in physics or is there anything out there for me at BS or MS level?

I don’t mind working in other quantitative fields outside physics. I have python, MATLAB, and Java experience.

Any suggestions or questions?

Thanks for reading.

Been looking at becoming a data scientist. Seems like a natural step. I’ve heard of physics majors being recruited their senior year. Imagine?! How could I do that?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
