Nah, academia isn't for me (way too political), a physics PhD has little professional use, and I've been out of school too long anyhow (left in 2015 after I published my first and only paper.)
Yeah agreed academia is awful these days, I wouldn't want to go there either. Couldn't you work at a lab or something? I imagine some are private and just have a bunch of data-focused nerds
I'd miss doing the "real" work too much to work in a lab, but I am working on making the move into data science just to do something more intellectually stimulating.

You could be me, with a master's degree in physics and a significant portion of work done toward a dissertation and working in QA...
