I was reading more of the transcripts pertaining to some of the physics questions that Arkadiusz was asking.
I've been at a crossroads for a while now. Trying to figure out what to do next. Try this, back up, try that, go around in circles. Perhaps I need to go back further. I was once studying to be a physicist, and stopped with a bachelor's, because the job market for scientists was very shaky at the time. And I was young and ignorant and scared. Maybe the primary mistake I made was leaving physics for the commercial world. Maybe I should've persisted and got that PhD anyway? Then again, maybe now was the right time after all.
If Arkadiusz is reading, I'd appreciate any advice on how and where to "pick up where I left off". I got as far as college-level QM. I remember doing the hydrogen atom and its enegy levels, that was one of the last classes I took. I also did a good chunk of numerical simulation of plasma particles - solving 2nd order ODE's with spline interpolation.
