What would be the best job shadow to do if you are interested in math and science?
Hi! I'm lilly, and my school is hinting at us getting our job shadows done by the end of January, but they are not due until the end of my senior year. (I am a junior at the moment.) I was wondering what the most beneficial shadow would be, as I'm interested in math (nuclear, astronomy, and maybe coding and engineering.) What kind of job should I look for?
What part about being a biochemist is most fulfilling, and why do you say that?
I am a high school senior. I have earned a cumulative 4.0 unweighted GPA and a 4.38 weighted GPA, and have worked very hard in school to achieve straight A's throughout the entirety of my high school career. I am interested in the natural sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, etc.. I would like to learn about different specializations in the aforementioned science fields, when specializing became important in school, and how you were able to pick a specialization (because there are just so many). I need to know how much should be apparent now about college, what I should prepare myself for, and what I will find out later on.
If I want to be an aerospace engineer or a physicist is it worth it to get two bachelor's degrees (one in physics and one in engineering) Or would it be better to get one bachelor's degree and one graduate degree??
I am a sophomore in college at a liberal arts school that has the option of a 3+2 dual degree engineering program.
What does it take to be an astrophysicist?
For example, what type of education and classes get you there? What type of interests or ambitions signal a path towards an astrophysical career? I am asking this question because I have a huge interest for medicine but astrophysics at the same time. I am having quite a bit of conflict on deciding what I really want. I am currently a junior in high school who has taken many high-level classes. #science #education #math #astrophysics #undecided
