hey guys, so march 1st is coming up and i still haven't applied to university. I can't seem to decide what I want to study.
I'm doing cal II right now, and math has always been a passion and interest for me. However, I find the classes usually boring (I get good marks though >95% for math). Stuff like math competitions and proofs are what interests me. I'm thinking of applied math mostly since that will give me (I think) a broad range of opportunities. Ideally, I'd like to do at least a masters if I choose math. Also If i choose math should I do a double degree, like with comp. sci or physics or something?
I really liked physics when I first did it in high school but after coming to college ("CEGEP" - Quebec system) and doing Mechanics & waves I seem to be almost on the verge of disliking it. Chem never interested me so that's out of the picture.
Now if I choose to do on more year of CEGEP I can apply to premed (1 year) and then go into med school. The problem is that the last time I did Bio was in Grade 9 and it was really basic stuff like the different systems. Although I normally hate memorizing I remember liking bio a lot. Why med? That's what I'm trying to figure out too :). It pays well, probably better than the other paths I listed, and lots of openings here in Quebec.
The only other choice I can think of is engineering (don't know which one - maybe ee?) since the way I see it, it's a combination of physics & math and I can probably make more money with a bachelors in engineering than in math (if i never end up doing graduate studies for some unforeseen reason).
I know I listed money as a reason once or twice and many people will disagree but I believe that personally, making a decent amount of money is an important factor. Also note that I have the marks to get in any of the listed choices (not trying to show off) Any suggestions or opinion? All feedback will be appreciated. Thanks a lot. :)
