Hey all,
Sorry in advance if these are silly questions, but ill try my best to explain my self.
Lets say my goal for a career is working in medicine, and doing research in finding cures for diseases and illnesses.
What are my educational goals... Is this mainly a BSc in chemistry...
hi all. my name is gates. i am currently doing B.Sc in physics chemistry and mathematics. now i am in second year, 4th semester. i currently have 82% in physics , 79% in chemistry and 80% in mathematics. i am fully worried about my future. can you people guide me regarding my higher studies please..
So, here's the situation:
I'm a second-year engineering student at a not-exactly-prestigious school (Wright State University for the morbidly curious), and my current plan is to carry my education all the way through to a Master of Science in Renewable and Clean Energy. Do you really think...
I am agile with Science but my Career was Chaotic except now 2010
I am passionate about Science but my Career was always in downturn except now 2010
i am Curious to become a Scientist r a researcher but i am already 25years old n everyone tells me that i am abnormal erratic(useless) person...
Should I take a TOEIC test ?
I used to take a Toefl paper test and scored 606, now my boss tells me to take a TOEIC test that I must score at least 420.
I think it's a waste of money and time. If my boss wants to know my English level, he might offer a thorough test of multiple choice...
I am emotional!
I am working as a software engineer for a Belgium steel company. Joining the industry as I see takes me far away from my area of expertise. Perhaps I am still unable to see it that much or it is likely that I am on the right track to take a leave of the current profession for a...
Hi guys, I am an high school student from italy and I am a junior.
I am looking for my path carrer, which is very difficult to find. I would like to be an astrophysicist, but on the other hand I am really interested in theoretical physics. I wonder which the difference between an astrophysics...
Hey everyone. I'm a senior in high school and need some serious guidance for my future major and job. I can say that I'm a very good student, academically, yet I lack the passion for anything right now. I want my knowledge to be powerful, on a level where it impacts the world.
There are very...
I have come to the conclusion that my ideal area of scientific persuit is the area of theoretical physics in specific string theory. Recently i have been researching on which field of theoretical physics i have the most interest in. My area of interests are most simply put the most fundamental...
I am a high school senior and i would like to know what careers combine the health field and the egineering field as well as what majors i should choose in order to get on the right path towards the career.
I currently have all credits completed for a B.S. in Biochemistry from the department of Biology at a top 50 university with a 3.2 GPA. I'm staying this last year to finish my few remaining GE requirements.
However, I am deeply dissatisfied with my degree. I've spoken to other biological...
Well I'm 25 years old, and am currently in the middle of a major career change, going from consulting to physics. Now for me my age isn't a problem, i feel motivated and am ready to bust my :blushing::blushing::blushing: for this.
However, I've been wondering if it could be a problem for...
Hi everyone--
This is my first post here, and I don't want this thread to look one of those that is created on every forum resulting on google, helplessly seeking help. I have been reading this forum for some time, and I guess I can ask for some academical advice and guidance. I believe it is...
I will be starting a undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering shortly and just have a few questions about what I should work for in the future. I have a few different career paths that I would like to pursue but don't know if they would all be applicable. I am interesting in working for a...
Hey all!
I am a sophomore Physics major and recently I was able to listen to a lecture about Medical Physics. It really grabbed my interest, much more so than any other lecture about research/work in Physics. I am just looking for as much information as possible about this field. How much...
Right, I'm currently unsure of what career path I want to take.
I'm currently in undergrad math taking all the possible physics modules.
Here's the thing - I find doing experiments boring. I find doing pure math problems very boring. I'd probably find research pretty boring too.
However, I...
Hi, I am am currently doing electronic engineering in college and i was woundering if it was possible to get a career in game design or game development as a electronic engineer, i know that software/digital media engineering is probable a better route to go down in terms of gaming, but...
Hi All,
How do I begin with this long and complicated story? I am a forth year college student majoring in physics. I began college as an architecture student, made some life-altering realizations during first year that it is not truly progress at all, just a rehashing of shapes/art school...
Im a sophomore and already worried i may not graduate on time. so I am wondering if this damages grad school opportunities, or ability to get good jobs?
Hello,
I am a student who is currently in high school and will be attending university next year. I live in Canada, and was am planning on going into engineering. I wish to work in the United States after obtaining my degree, and was just wondering whether it would be more beneficial to get a...
This may have been asked before but I am going to ask anyway.
I am currently studying a BS with a major in Physics. I'm in my second year and have taken maths, physics and computing courses. I am very interested in computing and mathematics and enjoy learning about physics.
Basically I am...
I've got one more year left of undergraduate study and I need to decide what area I want to specialize in,
I want to specialize in an area that deals with cancer/chemo kind of stuff (i.e I want to implement physics in cancer research)
So was thinking of specializing in either Optics or...
Ok, so apart from my desire to become a Physicist or Engineer I've also considered going into a more computer related career in either networking or programming. Yea, let's face it I haven't really been able to decide. One way or the other I'd like to be prepared or at least know what I'm...
Im currently a senior in high school and have fallen in love with the deepest mysteries of the universe. However, during my first three years of high school I slacked off, something i deeply regret. Now I am stuck with my poor GPA and I am wondering what steps i can take to pursue a career in...
Howdy everyone, I'm at the point were I have to make the decision on my career well actually I'm a semester late but I need help with this. First, my main goal, is to be a theoretical physicist or something along those lines because that's where my interest is but I need a Ph.D. for that and...
Hello everyone, I recently was admitted into a Master’s program in Applied Physics here in California and am interested in knowing more about what Medical Physics is as far as a career route for me.
I am starting the program this spring’11 semester.
Any info will be greatly appreciated...
Hi
I am currently an undergrad. studying electronics and communication engineering in India. I had no intention of studying that particular subject, but I chose it since I couldn't make it into a physics undergrad. programme (not because I'm bad enough academically, but due to some technical...
Yes, I've heard the cliches "money doesn't buy you happiness" and "do what you love", but my question is why?
About me:

I was wondering if someone within this field has a percentage of...
Hello,
I am considering getting a PhD in physics from a lower ranking university (not really bad though). I think it is ranked about 50th in physics by USNews. Is there any chance of breaking into a career in academia? I would like to teach physics at a small liberal arts college...
Hi.
I'm 25 years old with a wife and two sons. I've spent the last two years after graduation teaching at an academy in Taipei, Taiwan. While over there I decided I no longer wanted to teach English and that I wanted to get into hydrology.
Why hydrology? Several reasons. I used to...
