I don't know if it's worth it. And that's just the bachelor's.

You won't be employable with just a bachelor's.
t. physics undergrad
Christopher Wright
I mean t. physics bachelor's.
Cameron Powell
What will I need to be employable? A full PhD?
Luis Hughes
Yeah. You don't learn any modern physics in undergrad. Master's are seen as consolation prizes to failed PhD candidates.
Jose Parker
And, honestly, imo college is a massive scam, but you need it to get work. The books for an entire bachelor's and PhD cost less than $1k. If you feel you could get by without the degrees, maybe try it. Unless you really want to do R&D for some company or college.

i also fell for the physics meme. doing an msc in math because physics is useless if you aren't completely specialized.
Gavin Perry
then specialize for fuck's sake
condensed matter experiment is pretty sweet and applicable

OP here. Well, I have a literature master's degree. It's also unemployable, and the jobs I could get with it I don't want. I really regret it.
Unfortunately, I also live in California, where state-funded schools don't let you pursue a second bachelor's degree. That means I have to move out of the state to look for one, which is expensive as hell.
I would like to do R&D someday, but I'm having trouble making this financially possible.

maybe. i mesh better with mathematicians than physicists too. it might just be my field.
