| | This last semester has taught me something really important. I should forget about going into academia. It's not that I don't have the brain, which I'm a little lacking anyway; it's more about the mind-set and the personality. I'm not one of those people who gets excited reading journal papers on the applications of elliptic integrals of the third kind or obtains pleasure from experiments on finding the variation in spring constants of a microcantilever upon adsorption of some little particles. I do like physics and math, but I'm sure by the end of graduate school I'll study more than I'd like on the subjects. I've seen through the politics of research and academia. It's getting boring. I should just study computational physics at Duke and sell my soul to financial analysis afterwards. Yea, good plan! |
