[CanadianPhys]

Alright so I should probably start thinking about what to do in Uni so here are my 3 choices, and i have some questions about them... I like space,physics, aliens, not so much chem, and law
-Astrophysics(is it easy to find a job?(not teaching). i know it pays pretty good)
-Civil Engineering(I heard it was the easiest of all eng., i know you can find a job here, how hard is it?)Possibly continue to become a lawyer
-Business(at a business school like Shoelich@york) then into Coprarate Lawyer

civil is, in general, easier to grasp than electrical, chemical, etc, but it does entail a lot of work. Structural analysis problems take a lot of time, and my civil friends spend more time doing work than I do (mech). Don't go into something like that because you've heard it's easier. You'll feel like your wasting your time for instance, when you take a whole year learning road and highway standards, etc, unless that's somehting you want to do

First of all, it's great that you are already thinking about your future career options! All three of these choices are great and have their own unique opportunities. I can offer some insight into the fields of astrophysics, civil engineering, and business.

Astrophysics is a fascinating field that combines physics and astronomy to study the universe and its components. It involves a lot of math and theoretical work, so if you enjoy those subjects, then this could be a good fit for you. As for job prospects, there is a high demand for astrophysicists in research institutions, government agencies, and even private companies. However, it can be a competitive field, so it's important to have a strong academic background and relevant experience to increase your chances of finding a job.

Civil engineering is also a great career choice, especially if you enjoy problem-solving and working with your hands. Civil engineers are responsible for designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings. While it may be considered the "easiest" of the engineering fields, it still requires a strong understanding of math and science principles. As for job prospects, there is a high demand for civil engineers in both public and private sectors, and the job market is expected to continue growing in the coming years.

Moving on to business, it is a broad field that offers a variety of career paths. It involves understanding how organizations function and making strategic decisions to help them grow and succeed. Business schools, like the one you mentioned, can provide a strong foundation in business principles and also offer opportunities for internships and networking. Many business graduates go on to work in areas such as finance, marketing, and consulting. If you are interested in becoming a corporate lawyer, a business degree can also be a good starting point.

Ultimately, the best career choice for you will depend on your interests, strengths, and goals. It's important to do your research and gain hands-on experience in each field to see which one you enjoy the most. Also, keep in mind that your career path may not be linear, and you may have the opportunity to combine your interests in different ways. Good luck in your decision-making process!
