做faculty也不是只有牛校毕业才行，除非mm想去牛校当faculty关键是个人能力和publication.美国有无数的小college,有些只需要做很少的研究工作，还有些就是纯粹的teaching school.我老公教书的学校就是如此。我感觉这种工作对女孩子和没有科研野心的人很合适，非常舒服，时间自由，假期多，没有科研压力。教教书，一个学期三门课，只要做成熟练工，很轻松的。当然大钱赚不了，如果夏天有课教，还能贴补不少。
在小学校教物理，科研还是要做的，只是要求不高罢了，不需要为申请科研经费而大费脑筋。不过，一个学期两三门课也不会有时间作科研。最妙的是。。。可以和学生打成一片，年轻一辈子。
none of those looks like physics to me:) sorry. granular material stuff looks like calculations, calculations and calculations, which means, you think of a model and put it on the computer to simulate, see if it anwers your questions, if not (which happens most of the time) then you modify the model (or think of a completely new one) simulate again.
biophysics, I don't know much. the only subject I ever touched is protein folding, which is also mostly computer simulation.
if mm don't mind building on models and similating on computer all the time, then both would be ok. personally, I would prefer to work on self-organization models, or neuron simulations (how your brain works)which is very hot these days. biophysics is not traditional physics, but it's definitely physics and may input new principles to physics society about how science should be done.
don't be fooled by the high salary from wallstreet, its job is very unstable, you can be fired anytime and they don't have to inform you in advance, they can just fire you and give you 2 hours to clean you desk, then you are gone. some of my classmates who work there really work like hell because they are afraid of being fired. If you don't mind die early, then transfer to finance or economy or computer, get a master and find a job in wallstreet:) btw, after subtracting the high living cost in NY NY, your salary is really low.
personal bullshit. don't trust me:) mm should read more of the related research papers and really find out what you love most(forget about the job oppotunities, it's too early to worry about that), because the only thing we can do better than everyone else is the thing we love the most. If you are not better than everyone else, you cannot find an academic job.
No free lunch.
if you don't like hard work, then try statistics, accouting which will land you a job of <$60,000 /yr, and somewhat stable (meaning they have to inform you 3 months in advance if they want to fire you). A master would be enough.
非常感谢mm！！我想我现在最重要的就是弄清楚自己对什么感兴趣！！现在考虑找工作什么的太早了。现在hot的专业等我毕业的时候也不知道会怎样。做自己感兴趣的东西最主要了，不然phd这几年会很痛苦的。

这种teaching school不容易拿tenure吧？！这样会不会很不稳定？

mm还不明白吗？只要offer tenure track,小学校当然比research school好拿。因为research school是和研究成果发表文章挂钩的，这种teaching school就简单很多了。事实上，你多参加一些学校里的这个那个committee,表现出你对学校发展的关心，然后科研很好办，我老公就是去一个小会议投了一篇文章，不必发表都行。反正你到除了学校其他的地方都不见的稳定啊。
不是每个系每个学校都会允许已经在读的学生另外读一个专业的。有的会要求你现在的系开证明，说明你要去读的和你现在读的相关，而且可以读多少学分也不一定。mm还是先去问问清楚8

就是就是，姐姐讲的很对，没有野心的人做这种工作最合适。除了终身教授职位，其他任何地方的工作都不稳定的。美国就这个样子，所以失业才是大问题。。学物理数学的人哪个小学校都会需要，一个地方不要你还有其他很多地方可以选。大城市尤其如此。
