Simplify the Equation - 2019-07-30
9 Tips (and HARD TRUTHS) when considering a Career in Physics. Presented by: Dr. Andrew Princep and Dr. Jena Meinecke (University of Oxford) We share our HONEST advice and experiences about pursuing a career in physics. These are things your teacher probably didn't mention in school.
0:58: flexibility.
1:56: seize opportunities (and take care of your finances!).
2:45: build reputation.
3:53: pay attention to earmarked jobs.
5:00: success != success rates (and you should look to the latter).
6:10: diversify.
7:04: belief in oneself.
8:24: try new things—it's okay to be outside academia!
10:49: and it's okay to take breaks.
!= for the win
It’s my passion it’s my dream I wake up and think about and go to sleep and I breathe it I’ve never been more in love with anything in my entire life
every physic's student should watch this video, thank you so much, guys!
Thank you!!
What can i do after Completing my bachelor in Physics( BS-Phys)
"you've met love of your life or more likely got rejected a visa" - hahaha
Such a gulf between physics as a career (a job to make use of your talents and sustain you) and physics as an academic aspiration (learning, and ideally making significant contributions). The lucky ones are where these coincide. University never emphasised this distinction for me.
Well said!
Tip No 5 👍🏻 Trying to get a PhD from past one year . Got a lot of rejections but that ain’t stopping me from applying .
Though an insightful video . Thank You
Nice!! Keep up the good fight! We are actually filming a video about surviving grad school on Thursday, so have a look for it. :)
Such genuine advice. Thank you soooo much <3
Such a great video, I learned a lot. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thank you so much. I really needed to hear ALL of this, even coming from a different discipline. <3
Thank yoy so much for making this video☺️
I'M a 11th grade student in love with physics. But I'm gonna have a hard time convincing if I choose it. Can i get some help from u guys? The video was really good btw.
@Iqshuaan Charles yeah same with me bro I m also in grade 11th, loved physics since I was a in 5th but I m not sure to pursue it because of the same reasons. If you have reached to any answer plz. tell me as it can give me a wider perception of what should I do.
@The Man Well so far I'm trying to improve my marks to the point,I'm able to get a scholarship and maybe even leave the country coz I'm frm a third wrld country so there isn't that much opportunities for physics and idk if I'll be able to afford tuition fees. Good luck with your future endeavours🔥
@The ManOh yah,I also suggest that you should watch this video even though it sounds like you already have everything figured out, basically talks about how do choose what you love...good luck https://youtu.be/jVA-tr_euKU
@Iqshuaan Charles yeah same with me man I m from a country where there are not much opportunities for physics and I will also try for a scholarship as I can't afford to pay for those hefty tution fees. Till now I think I have good grades but not the best, gotta try to improve my marks. Thanks mate.
Me 2 going through same problem
Always believe in yourself! Love this!
Great video! Thanks guys 👏
How are the career paths in astrophysics compared to other fields?
with any field-- it's what you make of it. Astrophysics tends to have a better representation of minorities and support networks. However, that shouldn't influence your decision-- you should follow the research that interests you, regardless
Really really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for posting 👍🏽
Thank you very much! + you both beautiful!
thank you maam,,,,now I realised the true meaning of physics ,,,and what is happening to me is not uncommon....(studying physics)...........thank you maam
Thanks. I'm having a career break now and some quality time with family.
Thank you so much for making this video guys!
Watching this made me cry! Best work🙌🏻🙌🏻
Wow so glad I found this channel! Keep up the great work! 😁
Seems like doing a physics degree and a phd to end up as a data scientist or software engineer is a bit of a round about way of doing things
Exactly, physics is a dead end career.
@Strider lotr
Not necessarily Aragorn
Truth is that you need to be top of the class and have certain amount of luck to make it big in physics. Do you hear every PhDs going around making discoveries and known as the next Einstein? No. At the end of the day, you still have to make enough money to bring food to the table. Everything else comes second
I f*cking love you both. Thank you.
Cheers from Spain
Thanks a lot for giving these tips , I was confused between engineering and real science but now somehow am clear , anyways it's helpful
Amazing tips, thanks so much
Thanks for sharing your experience it is really valuable💕💕
Do the same apply word to word if I think of doing just Theoretical physics?
I love reading about physics, but I’m too stupid to do it
It was a good piece of advice thanks 🥰
So many gems there. Especially liked the being flexible one. I had fixated myself on QFT and had pretty much decided that it was what I wanted to do my whole life.
I realized later that a scientist/researcher isn't required to solve only extremely specific problems that interest them. You can pick any problem that requires to be looked at and you would have made a contribution!
Thank you
Can someone please notice how beautiful, charming and sweet Jena is?
Thanks awsome video and Chanel 😎
Thanks
Great advice 👍😃
I want some knowledge about wt to do after bsc in physics and wt is better.love from india
Great tips! What about career tips considering specific fields? Is there any difference?
Great question Noam! Andrew and I have filmed a second video with more specific advice on this topic. Also, I'm going to be introducing some awesome people on this channel from non-standard physics career paths to share their journey (and advice).
@Simplify the Equation Awesome! Looking forward
why you stopped uploading video?
we want more on physics
have you guys made a video on what kind of work physicists in industry do? thanks!
Can u pls tell us how much u are paid for doing Ph.D, what decides a good payment?
Hello At first i loved this video. This year i complete my A level here in Nepal. I love physics.I am always interest to read article of theories of science.From inner core of heart i want to study physics yeah bachelor is base and in near future it will know in which field i am going to be specialist. I am applying for USA FOR under graduate.
Any book you suggest me to read related to physics before bachelor
The most helpful books in undergrad (for me) were from the author David J. Griffiths. Good luck! :)
@Simplify the Equation before joining uni .I can read this book.any other articles of science theories are there before bachelor .
@Nepal Gorkha you got in?Where did you go?
These eyebrows have more flexibility than me
Andrew looks tripped out lmaoo
I love you man my parents are forcing me to study Goddanm Acca which doesn't make sense I love physics and I'm big fan of Brian Greene
And I should study physics
Do what you want who gives a damn about why your parents want, it's your life and you have to be in control every step of the way

They all seemed like really valuable pieces of advice but my favourite were 2, 7, 8 and 9.
I can't thank you enough for making these videos. I will be watching them all!
None of my friends are interested in STEM subjects so resources like this channel help me so much in advice, confidence and motivation. I really can't thank you enough
