Engineering What are the job prospects for a control systems or electric power engineer?

AI Thread Summary
Choosing between control systems (automation) and electric power in Serbia requires consideration of the local job market and future career prospects. The decision should be influenced by whether the student intends to work in Serbia or abroad. Engaging with professors for insights on industry connections and job outlooks is recommended. Additionally, researching job opportunities in both fields through platforms like Indeed can provide clarity on salary expectations and demand for each specialization.

If you plan to leave Serbia, you will need to identify where you plan to work.

Thread 'How to close the gap: From Independent Research to Academic Discourse'

Hello Physics Forums Community, I'm hoping to draw upon the community's collective wisdom regarding a procedural challenge that I believe many independent researchers face. I'm working on a self-contained theoretical framework from a foundational starting point. The work touches upon concepts from general relativity, quantum foundations, and cosmology, attempting to connect them based on a single relational principle. It has now reached a point, where some parameter free values seemingly...
