Thanks to those wonderful people in A&amp;E at DGRI who never made me feel stupid. Anyway talking of stupid, here are two documents to get you thinking. The first is a little old. The 1927 Solvay Conference. Imagine being a fly on the wall at that event. Actually most of it would probably have gone over my head or under my wing. The other is a more up-to-date document, a survey from the IoP (Institute of Physics) suggesting that those with a degree in Physics will likely be able to earn more than the average salary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mrsphysics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Physics-in-Scotland.pdf\">Physics in Scotland<\/a>\u00a0Physics Graduates are more likely to earn more than the average salary, so it is worth persevering!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mrsphysics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/The-Solvay-Conference-1927.pdf\">The Solvay Conference 1927.pdf<\/a>\u00a0A meeting of the brightest minds.
