PhD vs b.ed

I am currently pursuing b.ed where i just have to go for exams and one year i have done only one is left . I got an offer for experimental nuclear physics PhD (which i wanted to do) from a 2nd generation IIT. Now i am confused whether i should leave b.ed and go with the PhD but I'm having doubts if while doing PhD some job opportunities occur and i leave b.ed then maybe I'll regret. I mean I'm not even sure that I'll join school teaching but my parents feel that you will be having one professional degree atleast. This is making me a little doubtful. Also I've applied via GATE score and haven't qualified CSIR NET yet. Give me some advice.

Neutronix (A Nuclear Reactor Sim)

Hey all! So just out of boredom I started a project where I figured I'd do a simple little sim for a reactor in UE5. After it grew a bit, I thought that maybe other people might enjoy it and that it maybe had some potential. So -- for your consideration -- I present "Neutronix". You can find the download in the link below. Any feedback is appreciated. Please note that this is not a 1-to-1 sim by ANY means and serves more as an "educational" tool.

(P.S. I do not use a traditional reactor design. Instead, I use control "drums" with a reflector and absorber side to control the reaction.)

Physicists Observe Long-Sought "Superallowed" Alpha Decay for the First Time

A team of international researchers led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the RIKEN accelerator complex in Japan has successfully measured the alpha decay of tellurium-104, marking the first-ever experimental observation of "superallowed" alpha decay. Published in Nature, the study reveals that the isotope has a blistering half-life of just 7.2 nanoseconds the shortest known alpha decay half-life for a heavy nucleus. Crucially, the data shows that alpha particles form ("cluster") inside heavy nuclei at a much higher probability than current theoretical calculations predict, providing vital insights into a century-old mystery of nuclear structure.
