I have lurked on this site for a while but I finally decided to post to get some clarity on my current options with education/job prospects. I got my BS in Physics last May and I have been in Graduate School for a MS/PhD in Physics for this last year but I am looking at changing track. I am looking at getting a full-time position as a systems engineer and I would like to hear any advice anyone has about how to bridge any gaps I may have when it comes to academics/skills.
