Got my degree in physics - and now I work in a completely unrelated field. That’s life I guess.

Not a physicists, but use physics in my job (along with biology and chemistry).
I enjoy basic electricity calculations and thermodynamics.

Gosh, statistical mechanics is a bitch. That and condensed matter…reciprocal space drove me insane. This Kittel guy should have laid off the weed.

Physics major here. I worked in telecommunications for 40 years. I never used my learned discipline and forgot much of it. I recently looked at some of my old notebooks and couldn’t comprehend very much of their content. Yikes.

I have a friend whose kid got a masters in Quantum Physics from St Peter's in NJ. Northrop, Raytheon and IBM got into a bidding war for him......decided to buy a Hatteras with a buddy and they do charters in the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Doubtful
18 - 22 are the Rock Star years
23 - 28 are the late bloomers and quite rare
Over 30 and you are a fossil
You may get the Nobel Prize in your 60's but odds are good your theory was from your 20's
Most of the big discoveries were from 100 years ago and we are still debating them. Economist would envy that lack of new material.

Did you hear the one about the Neutrino that went into a bar?
Nobody noticed.

Not a physicist but I've read pretty much everything Richard Feynman wrote. For his stories more so than the physics. If I have a hero it's probably Feynman.

If so, what’s your favorite topic in physics?
