Thank you so much for your response! I am certainly not insistent on HEP but I just dont want to give up on the physics dream. I'll certainly look into the labs available. In your opinion, are there any other fields besides astronomy that would work out given my situation?– curiousCommented Jan 30, 2022 at 6:54

@curious That depends on how much are you willing to invest on your re-education and how open are you to the risks of being involved with electronics for longer than you wish for. I've gotten an impression you wished to get on a more theoretical side of things, and this requires an extensive and detailed background in most fields. With experimental labs, it's easier - just being generally good with equipment smoothens the transition a lot. Still expect to spend a while in a lab assistant position, essentially (thankfully, a PhD is often not much different from that...).– LodinnCommented Jan 31, 2022 at 17:13

In your case, probably not biophysics (although who knows...). But more generally, start from the other side of the equation - find topics that interest you, get in contact with some lab, offer your workforce for relatively cheap, earn a living while pursuing something you are actually excited about, PROFIT! Your situation is not common but given no commitments so far you are not in a terrible position for such negotiations.– LodinnCommented Jan 31, 2022 at 17:16

I'm very happily abhorrent to biophysics :) Thank you so much for your advice!– curiousCommented Feb 5, 2022 at 16:34

like so

add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
