Well except for the fat and dimpled part.. mine is pretty accurate:)

but from your post.. you sure know a lot.. :) For your age you know too much :worried:

I'm probably the only person on EF who's had a complete and honest profile for four years straight, lol.

morning guys:)

LOL you can get all that info on the internet. Just search "today in history".
Appreciate the info samoth, I always like learning new shit. I can't believe we had Monopoly before Post Offices.
 
LOL, I don't actually look this stuff up or anything, it's all from some today in history thing like Sublime said. I don't even know which site, as I get this good morning stuff from the law board. I figured it'd make for an interesting morning thread kinda thing...



:cow:
 
Morning all by the way.

hey samoth, what exactly are you going to school for? like what's your ultimate career goal. I know you're into physics and stuff, but what's all that headed towards?
 
I :heart: the :cow:

Good Morning Samoth.

The History Channel had an interesting show about the history of Monopoly. It involved licensing and the importance of protecting your IP property. Let just say the descendants of the woman that invented the game, are probably still banging their heads against the wall.

Applied physics with dual emphasis in chemical and astrophysics and a minor in math.

It's all headed towards grad school. LOL, that's honestly as far as I've ever gotten. That's where all the career decisions and networking will take place, so I'm not really nit-picking over anything in the here-and-now... it wouldn't make a difference anyway. All I know is I don't want to teach (as a career).

HTH

LOL!

BTW, do New Yorkers really pronounce it House-ton? *giggles in a midwestern accent*

Hi@

We're loosing to MSU :(

It's horrible... we could at least be loosing to a good school, like UMich or something, lol.

Wait, we probably already lost to them. Never mind, carry on...

lol taht sux , i used to love goin up there and watchin games , esp purdue and IU . always some great parties afterwards
 
You looking to work in a commercial venture or in govt, i.e. research facility? Especially in the research areas its all about who you did your studies under, who you post-doc'd with and all that stuff. Many of my friends when I was coming out of the physics dept at ASU went to work at Las Alamos (they were nuclear & atomic physics majors). Most of them are now physics profs at various schools now. A very good friend of mine also did some research at JPL. Some of the people who specialized in optics went to work at Litton in Phoenix (conveniently in teh same city as the school). Not sure where the optics industry has gone since - we're talking mid-80s. Night vision goggles were the hot product there. They only pursued physics to the BS level. All the other stuff you really need the PhD for.

Might also be interesting to look in the direction of applied physics and move into the commercial sector.

I'd prefer anything involving research, but those are the hardest positions to come by, and usually involve professorship. Of course, Los Alamos, JPL, NASA, CERN, etc. would all be the ideal places, but realistically a stretch. The AVERAGE time to complete a PhD in astrophys in the U.S. is 11 years. With that knowledge, I wouldn't discount options involving a terminal MS. A bit of a pain reapplying from a terminal program, but it leaves lots of 'applied' options open that are more engineering and industry focused.

Optics is still big... and I don't know why, lol. Solid state is the biggest, with optics third, I believe. HEP is still strong, but purely research-based.
