The fuck do I do now? PhDs all require some sort of experience so I can't switch that way.

Thermofluids
Nothing really groundbreaking is happening here. Like, it's mostly just applications of 200 year-old physics.
I should have gone into electronics/AI/robotics. That shit is blazing hot right now.

I mean I can't afford to get another master's, and the PhD degrees with stipends all expect you to know stuff from previous studies so you can pretty much hit the ground running.

If you’re not passionate about engineering type stuff, maybe you’ll be passionate about managing people that do it. Plus you’ll make more money.

No I like engineering in general. I just don't like my specific subfield.

One out of every 10,000 mathematicians actually manages to advance the field. The rest are just teachers in training.

Advancing math for its own sake is not interesting. What is interesting is using math to make other fields rigorous. Other disciplines are so braindead that you can go in and build mathematical models better than theirs with ease.
