What would be a good plan for someone wanting to become an acoustic/noise control engineer?
I was planning on getting two degrees: one in math and the second in physics. Then I want to get a masters and doctorate in acoustics from Penn State. I then started researching the Institue of Noise Control Engineering. Would it be a good idea to apply for membership to INCE after graduate school? Should I do it earlier? Should I wait? Should I do it at all? Then I want to complete all three INCE courses in noise control engineering. Is board certification worth it?
Are there any careers that would allow me to pursue nuclear engineering AND musical theater ?
My current goal is to double major in those two subjects at University of Michigan (hopefully with a scholarship, as it's out of state and EXPENSIVE), but from what I've found, it's practically impossible to find a way to do them both "in the real world" I don't want to look back and regret not doing theater, but I know it's not the most practical career. I'm not the best at nuclear science or engineering, but I have time to improve my skills. Is there anything out there for me (that pays well, LOL)?

Should I change my Marketing degree into a General Business Degree?
Hello everyone I am looking for some career guidance I am a senior in my last semester of university. I believe I have lost interest in my marketing degree although I enjoyed learning many topics within my curriculum when I completed my required internship during the last semester of my junior year I found myself bored and unhappy. I was set to complete an internship position within my sophmore year but due to family health issues this did not occur. I tried applying to many other marketing positions but had no luck landing any which made me feel uneasy about the value of my degree and how it would not provide me the stability I was seeking. However, I was trying to stay positive throughout my college years as I thought my marketing major was a good fit for me, but after completing my internship I feel as though it is not for me as I am not being challenged. In addition I now feel that marketing does not give me a sense of fufillment as well. I feel ashamed because I know think I have wasted four years towards something that does not align with me. My question now is that would it be better to change my major to general if I am no longer interested in Marketing? I do not want employers to box me into marketing side of things since I no longer want to work within that space. I am now open to the idea of working within finance and human resources but my university does not offer these majors. There is only a finance minor. I have even thought about just graduating with a general business degree and pursuing an elementary teaching certification as one of the requirments is to have a bachelors degree. Please let me know your thoughts as I am feeling stuck and behind in life.

Is there a way I can become a teacher but also be a DO(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)?
