Hey guys,
I've been a fly on the wall in these forums for a while, and I'd like some advice from everyone.
I just received my acceptance letter for the University of Rochester, my major is Physics. I completed Calc I through III and Physics I and II at a local community college, and enjoyed all the classes.
I also have strong interests in EE, and Comp Sci. I also have room to double major, but I am having a difficult time deciding what exactly.
I was hoping that if I provide a description of my "ideal job", you all could make some suggestions and point me in the right direction.
I would love to work in the middle of the mountains at some sort of remote sensing lab, research lab, etc. Doing mainly data analysis, troubleshooting, researching, or setting up new equipment, making reports, that sort of thing. If its electrical/computer, I could spend 24/7 working with it. Small group of people, working together, with no accountants or customers needing help ringing my phone. A good daily mix of programming, studying/analyzing, building/repairing, you get the idea.
I realize this may be highly fictional, I am only trying to explain my interests.
If i had it my way, I could spend the next 15 years of my life studying everything that interests me, but that can't happen. I do intent on attending graduate school, but am unsure of the combination of degree programs mentioned. I feel I have a too diverse area of interests to just study physics in undergrad/grad school.
Thanks for your help
