[Heron TSG]

Yeah, your not in any danger of running out of math classes. I'm a freshman and I'm in calculus 3(its like calculus 2 but in 3 dimensions).

Is it sad that the first thing I thought of was, "Oh god; It's calculus THREE D!"?

Electromagnetic Wave Engineering.

In simpler terms, is that transferring data using an AC wave?

[HAMMERMILL]

Nursing. I plan on getting an RN liscense.

I'll be a Murse.

[Frelock]

Being undecided my Freshman year really set me back, but now I'm on track, doing what I love.  My main major is Earth and Space Exploration.  I like to think of it as an unholy fusion between Geology, Astronomy, and Engineering(we're expected to know the basics of electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering).  Class schedule includes Astrobiology, the Geology of Mars, and a senior Exploration Research Project (your undergraduate thesis).  I hope to eventually work for JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) or directly for NASA.  If I can get into shape (unlikely), my impossible dream is to become an astronaut.

I've also got a second major in Mathamatics; it's useful for every aspect of the sciences.  Also, I plan on never retiring; just becoming a high school math teacher when I get too old to work on rockets.

I also have what I consider to be a minor in computer sciences.  However, they don't offer a minor in computer sciences, so it really amounts to a few programming and computer design classes under my belt.

Majors I'd like to get if I could stay in academia forever: Philosophy, Neurology, Creative Writing, Computer Science, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Latin, Classics, Physics, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.

I'm Liberal Arts but I honestly have no idea what I want.  I can't see my life being any better than it is right now, and I can't think of any career I'd enjoy.

[Croquantes]

Mai majore is engrishuuuuuu!

Depends on what you call an AC wave. I don't think radio antennas transmit AC waves (even though the source is AC). Or ethernet wires. Or optics/simulated optics. Or human/synthetic speech signals. And analog signal processing is sort of outdated, so... not really

[Poltifar]

I'm still in my second year of Highschool, and I'm not sure how the major system works here compared to in the USA or the UK, so I'm just gona say I'm planning to go into theoretical mathematics and quantum physics. Numbers ftw!

[Osmosis Jones]

I highly recommend it. Quantum mechanics is interesting, but advanced maths is actually more fun (god I sound like a nerd ). Some of the shit you learn will twist your mind though.

[Poltifar]

The mind-twisting factor is what I look forward to

  If I can get into shape (unlikely), my impossible dream is to become an astronaut.

Don't you have to be an Air Force pilot for that as well? Or is that just one of many paths?

Just one of many paths.  Used to be astronauts were daring test-pilots (because that's what they were doing), but now they're focusing more on recruiting scientists.  Every 4 years or so, NASA puts out a call for astronauts.  Anyone can apply.  They usually get something like 5000-10000 well qualified applicants.  They pick something like 8-10.

As to quantum mechanics, it is possibly one of the most fascinating subjects I've ever come across, possibly tied with relativity for the mind-blowing factor.

[Virex]

I'm actually not that much a fan of quantum mechanics. Sure, the principles are mind-blowingly interesting, but once you get past that, most of it is just hard labour and no glory. Half of the time you need to reduce your answer to a hopefully useful approximation which still takes ages to compute and the other half of the time, the things you calculate aren't applicable to the real world. At least that's in my experience, for what it's worth, because I'm only a chemical engineer, not a quantum physicist.

I actualy find organic chemistry and thermodynamics much more interesting. Organic chemistry because it enables you to build interesting and important chemical compounds with comperatively simple tools and understand what's happening, and themrodynamics because it's principles are simple, the intermediate section's blowing your mind out and the end result is elegant and simple again.

RESITACNE IS FUTULE

[Onlyhestands]

Well, I'm a senior in highschool now, but I'm seriously considering becoming an archaeologist.

[Jualin]

My intended major will be theater next year when I enter college.
