That's super cool! Good for you!
replyI'm kind of contemplating the same thing - not leaving the corporate world, because I have too many bills and debts for that - but getting a PhD in something, maybe math or CS. I don't know that anyone really does that in their forties, though...
Lovely.
replyThis is on my mind too.
Am an engineer (EE + CS) with 25 years of work experience, with a passion for Physics. Am widely known in my circles as a scientist/physicist, however, I do not actually know much. Learned some Lagrangian and Hamiltonian classical physics recently.
I personally do not mind going for even an undergrad in Physics if that would be a better fit for me to learn. :-)
I’ve also been ruminating on the idea of getting a formal education in physics since I always imagined myself as a physicist when I was a child. :)
replyThat's awesome. I often dream of returning to a formal learning environment, I didn't appreciate how special dedicated (extended) time for learning was when I was in school.
replyBest of luck!
