Most people on this board are majoring in exercise/sport science because "lifting is my passion bro, I just love how the body works and shit" after they had to give up on their dreams of pre-med because general chemistry was too hard.

I'm going into Accounting and Finance after taking a gap year. Any tips for the field bro?
I'm starting law school in September for criminal law. I took up lifting because having a nice body makes me feel more confident in myself, and I would imagine confidence is something I'll need when I'm standing in front of a judge trying to get a guy off for stabbing his wife.

>>37224984
I'm not the same guy
I've just quit my research position in physics because it's bullshit. Research is awful, you think you'll be working at the LHC but 90% of my day was staring at fucking excel. Almost all research topics are boring as shit unless you love materials science (hint: no one does, it's the worst part of physics). You're under constant pressure to publish, so much that my boss falsifies results fairly often. Your work will be meaningless, it's just to get papers out as quickly as possible.
I now work writing software for physics simulations which is so much more rewarding and I'm now making more than my last boss was. Best advice I can give you is either:
-learn to program, software companies love physicists with good programming knowledge;
-or follow what you're interested in. I love astrophysics but I switched to materials science for the prospects/grants. Trying to read papers made me want to kill myself and I just couldn't be fucked doing any work. If you hate your field, you'll be shit at it

Most of the established disciplines are so done to death at this point from the mass proliferation of PhDs that in order to find novel research they've spread out to such esoteric extremes that only a handful of people on earth have any idea what you're talking about.
As such, you can make up data that supports your view and there is an extremely low probability that anyone capable of disputing it will ever come across it in one of the hundreds of journals published every month. It only becomes a problem if your research gets picked up and someone tries to use it to develop something functional, like happened a few years back with that physicist that was claiming to make working nano signals that people then wanted to use in nanotechnology.
>>37226435
He is the last guy who checks it before it's published, and he's clearly not going to raise the issue. I could raise it, but I'll be fired for it so it's not worth it.
It's not like it's an outright lie, maybe you "accidentally" write a 3 instead of a 5, or drop a decimal places etc. The journal editor and the editors usually don't see anything wrong with it. Normally it would be picked up in a repeat by someone else, but there's no money in those so no one does them.
It's pretty easy to get away with

PhD student in high energy theory here (AdS/CFT). I love physics, but it's a huge field and it is reasonable to be totally uninterested in some aspects of it. For instance I never cared about solid state physics, experimental stuff and so on. However, no matter what you end up liking, it's impossible to truly appreciate it if you don't get the underlying mathematics (at least to some level).
>>37225809
Yeah, I have friends at CERN who tell me that there's a lot of politics involved, to the point that somewhat dubious results get published in time for a deadline. I've been to some pheno talks where people just pick whatever results suit them to make the data fit. Pretty shocking, but I'm not really in a position to talk since my work has ~0 grounding in reality.
Anyway the postdoc job market is atrocious, so I might just call it quits after my doctorate. I have a few papers to my name so it's been a decent run.

>>37227760
12-14 hour days working sometimes up to 21 days straight. It really depends on where you are at if it interferes with lifting. I'm usually put up in camps in remote places that have pretty nice gyms, so if you're not too exhausted with work then it's not bad. Diet is a little hard to keep up with sometimes as well.

A long time ago i thought about working on an oil rig, but you need training and shit, right?
>>37227957
I mostly worked on the oil sands. I'm not sure about the rigs. At one time you could get on with just maybe some OSHA safety training, but now that oil has dropped there's not a lot hiring that I know of. You'd want to look at roustabout/roughneck jobs I believe.
I actually got into it from a friend. He was working up in Canada (I'm American) and just as I was getting out of trade school he got me hooked up with his company. This was in 2008/09. I started off doing shit jobs like industrial cleanup. It paid shit (relative) like $16 an hour but I'd work 80 hours a week.

The job is physical, can be fatal, you can lose body parts by mistakes or chance and if you fuck up a welded part, you have do it again without pay.
If you're single and don't care about the long term effects of your health then this job is for you.

>>37228574
Good questions.
Invariance of n-point correlation functions implies that symmetry is not broken. It's not "useful" is a general sense, but the spontaneous symmetry breaking will lead to Goldstone bosons being generated, and if we don't observe these bosons in nature then your theory is flawed (this is one of the problems of QCD, called U(1) axial anomaly).
The symmetry group determines the topology of your gauge fields. Symmetry is spontaneously broken (a la Goldstone) if the system has nontrivial Chern characters, which leads to topological excitations in your gauge fields, e.g. topological strings, Dirac monopole, instantons etc. These breakings of the symmetry are in the sense that the stability group of the ground states is a normal subgroup of the symmetry that does not preserve trajectories in phase space.

Yep, this is pretty much all true except the not getting paid to redo fuckups. I still get paid even if I do.
Some jobs are obviously much more risky, if you want to make extreme hustler money 400-500k a year you can do underwater welding, but that's too much danger for my blood. Most of the jobs that I work at I haven't seen anyone really hurt. The long-term health effects are a good question but I hope that all our safety gear minimize it.
I just graduated with a history degree.
It's not really my passion but I'll try doing a graduate degree anyways because I don't really have any other option ither than going for minimum wage jobs.
