Abstract:
Completing a bachelor's degree in science instills a more coherent understanding of the fundamental nature of reality, while simultaneously opening the door to whole new worlds of opportunity. Some choose to continue the quest for knowledge by pursuing a Master’s or PhD. Others go straight for a career in the broad spectrum of industry, where they can start using their skills to advance the cutting edge of technology and manufacturing. The “right” choice is truly subjective. I chose the latter, and while the path to a successful career isn’t always linear, my experiences are one example of how perseverance paves the way to a fulfilling role in optics.
Speaker Bio:
