BS in physics 2014 (minor in CS) my research in undergrad and applications for grad school were for computational neuroscience (sort of the whole what would Feynman do if he was still alive route) 1. Didn't get into as many programs as I wanted. 2. East Coast schools even explicitly told me that wetlabs were more important (I semi-agree). 3. West Coast schools were all being gutted for ML/Data science work. 4. all the post docs and grad students I had worked with had switched to doing ML I deferred for a year and worked at a biotech startup doing neural network simulations to prove the product worked and scrappy hardware startup things. I've since been at a startup doing NLP for the last two years. Don't regret the degree which to me is like a STEM liberal arts degree.
