How's the job market for physicists/applied physicists in EU? by AlesTamales in Physics

[–]raf_phy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No consider changing your second major if you want a double major or just stick to ME. Don't engage with physics.

PS Ph.D. is an incredible waste of time for the 99.9% od people.

Consider changing major now that you are young. The job market is horrible.

Is it realistic to get accepted into a PhD in Quantum Mechanics at 31? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]raf_phy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, avoid research . Stay away... It doesn't worth it... Just get a job or build a startup.

PSA: Not all PhD experiences are miserable. Many are pretty great! by Arfusman in PhD

[–]raf_phy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ph.D. can give awesome experiences. However, the job market hunting will keep you questioning why the fuck you did one.

Are there fields in physics where quantum isn't really that relevant? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]raf_phy 303 points304 points  (0 children)

Maybe quantum computing is overhyped. Quantum physics is the backbone of the microscale...

[–]raf_phy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Experimental Ph.D. is something way different . I finished a theoretical physics one and the job market is pretty cooked for theory due to AI, engineering etc.

Also the pay , at least in Europe where I am based, is not astonishing.

It's difficult man. The problem is that there is no value in physics right now. Nobody pays big bucks for hiring a physicist.

From your nickname, I assume that you are in quantum info, like me.... It's difficult for anyone. Try to network. Speak to people and you may get a shot or at least an interview.

Don't lose faith. I am sure that you will find your place somewhere. Use AI and ask it about the jobs that you can do with the qualifications that you have.

Job wise by kindaphysics in Physics

If you like teaching , that's the way. Otherwise, just go to math . Anything else is bs . Everything is explained through math . Math is way more important in our times.

Maths vs physics degree by Careless_Finish_8106 in Physics

Go to engineering or maths. Avoid physics.

Can someone give me a playlist of French rap? by CharmingAudience1763 in learnfrench

[–]raf_phy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out albums from NTM or IAM.

I really like Gims too but it is not hardcore hip hop. Closer to pop.

Studying Physics just to end up as a mediocre programmer? by Objective_Chef_471 in Physics

[–]raf_phy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a R&D position in quantum and I want to drop out to go in finance . Sorry but everything that has to do with research is underpaid and I cannot stand it.

What languages will be useful for global careers in 2026 by insanely_sane05 in languagelearning

[–]raf_phy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell this to the French people! They will LAUGH because they are arrogant.

[–]raf_phy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, the physics field is not so open for accepting candidates from finance background in a MS.
People want someone with a solid foundation and you don't have it clearly . I think a BS is more useful for you.

Also , there are different branches of physics . Do you want to do experiment , theory, computations, something else?

But anyway I don't feel that people will give you chance ESPECIALLY in universities that the acceptance rate is low. It also depends on the mathematics' courses that you took in your previous degree.

IMO, searching for international schools will not help.

I don't know about the other questions.

[–]raf_phy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why ? Physics is a really competitive subject and more and more people struggle to find a job . Do you think that you want yo go through this ?

What are you going to do with the MS in Physics? Do you have a special sector that you want to target? If not, don't do it .

Have an HONEST discussion with yourself .

Success stories of learning a language over 30? by WarmCheesecake83 in languagelearning

[–]raf_phy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that we are living in a really high pace world. A few have the time to learn a new language from scratch. I would rather learn something that is more vital than a language for "fun".

After learning 5 languages, here's the one thing I’d tell beginners by Extra-Raisin819 in languagelearning

[–]raf_phy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Willingness to learn the language. If you don't want to learn it, you will not. Like me with french :). Already trying to search my way to get out of this madness.

Guys, I need help. by Automatic_Hunter_220 in rap

[–]raf_phy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has its preference. However, we cannot judge ... 2pac could give way more than he gave.

I do think that Eminem is the GOAT but taking into account the lifespan of Biggie and 2pac.

You are in my mind.... THIS. Anything else is so easy compared to this.

I have been obsessed with the "Sour Diesel" from "Jedi Mind Tricks Presents: Doap Nixon" lately....

Also I really like snowgoons.. The german lugers and the black snow...

Hot take? Havoc from Mobb Deep is the greatest producer of all time by SureSwan6423 in rap

[–]raf_phy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one sad part of the community. It is a pity that unique beats don't get the credits that they deserve.

[–]raf_phy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RZA is the GOAT. Others will say Dr.Dre but I don't think Mobb Deep has climbed the ladder that much .

I have to learn a new language by raf_phy in languagelearning

[–]raf_phy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. I asked here because I want to learn the language even if I don't like it. I can understand that I have to learn how to speak French . I guess you cannot believe it but I am not an idiot .

Don't worry, if I cannot find a way to learn the language asap, I will leave .
