I wouldn't underestimate those experiences. I drove a forklift during summer and learned a lot, that universities can't teach you. And, of course, it was fun.ergospherical said:

You can go through your university, but if you know any of the companies in an industry that interests you then going directly to the company can be more helpful. Particularly if it is a small company or if you have a personal connection at a big companyergospherical said:Are these just things you find on Google? In second and third year I know you can apply for internships via the university itself, but this year I don't think that's viable [and it'd be too late anyway
),you'll learn stuff! You would probably be working for free since it's already so late, but, if you can afford it, it will get you a shoe in the door and you will learn some things. Also nothing to say you can't do part time at Tesco and part time at the lab to balance your expenses.I agree.Dale said:
I'm not so sure. In years when I took on someone for the summer, if they haven't started by now, I would have made other plans. Besides, with 1/2 and probably 1/2 of the summer gone, by the time he's been taught enough to be useful, the summer will be over.Dale said:
Me too. But that is covered in the "if any are still open" clause. Even if I had not filled a slot by this time it would not be open. I would have moved on to different plans and closed the requisition with my HR department.Vanadium 50 said:
Sounds a bit like a joke: Someone came in a coffee shop in Rome and ordered an Earl Grey. ...ergospherical said:Woo I'm becoming a trainee barista from Wednesday, however I never drink coffee. This should go well
What if the customer says that there exist spherically symmetric solutions to the field equations where the exterior solution isn't given by the Schwarzschild metric?hutchphd said:

I'd blame time dilation.Twigg said:Where I'm from, if you held up a line at a Starbucks during the morning rush for a reason like that, I'm pretty sure you'd be inciting a riot.
That would backfire! It would mean that the standing Q is faster than the service ...Ibix said:
You had me conCERNed for a bit...ergospherical said:Hang on, that sounds a bit random - what's in Geneva?
Do you will start a job at Wednesday? In UK? I mean, right in the day that england will play! The bar will go crazy! And tomorrow my guess is to spain.ergospherical said:Woo I'm becoming a trainee barista from Wednesday, however I never drink coffee. This should go well
Haha, yeah in that game you got to experience what it's like to be an England fan.LCSphysicist said:
... that summer peaked for us at precisely this moment

from the way people reacted you'd have thought we won the entire cup

Summer physics placements are short-term opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in the field of physics. These placements typically take place during the summer months and can range from a few weeks to a few months in duration.
No, summer physics placements are available in various countries around the world. However, the availability and application process may differ depending on the location. It is important to research and apply for placements in your desired location.
It may be too late to apply for some summer physics placements in the UK, as many programs have early application deadlines. However, there may still be some opportunities available, so it is worth checking with individual organizations and companies.
Summer physics placements in the UK can be offered by universities, research institutions, government agencies, and private companies. These placements may involve research projects, internships, or other hands-on experiences related to physics.
Participating in a summer physics placement can provide valuable experience and skills that can enhance a student's resume and future career prospects. It also allows students to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting and make connections with professionals in the field.
