Hi guys, I have been chatting to an MIT physics professor, and he has said the following:

if you want to do physics you should:
>learn to code
>learn statistics
>make friends with academics

I am wondering a) whether that is good advice and b) what the best way is to make friends with academics is - im only in high school, i dont have anything to contribute to conversations!

It all depends on what you want to do later

For the former it's good advice but for the latter I would go to your local gay bar

Rather pragmatic approach, but I would mostly agree with the advice, considering you also learn all of your coursework

making friends with academics is hard because academics don't have friends, they have colleagues. lol

Yes, this all seem like good advice.

Also physicists are advised never to marry another physicist. The would be unhealthy networking.
