very informative thanks. i was considering joining the armed forces after graduation but i must see what they offer. i feel it would be very interesting to work at one of the facilities astronuc listed. i will be looking into their opportunities. also ill check out the smart scholarship...

gosh if i had realized this would turn into a discussion of morality i would have never posted. [response to crap deleted] Fireworks would be an awesome job but seems like its been perfected and not in need of any physicists. Im curious if firearms manufacturers hire physicists.

so i just survived my first semester at a real college, (transferred from community college), and got my A@# handed to me. I did however pass everything and learned a ton. I learned what real studying is and that I am probably not cut out for grad school, but we shall see. i am curious if its...

did you apply anywhere else?

so I've been reading a lot of the threads about jobs and i got to thinking about what I am to do. For the past five years i have been working for a small construction company. I love it and hate it (so i started college). friday will be my last day because I am transferring as a junior into the...

book is "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems" hello again all. im just preparing for my first semester at a real university. I transferred from community college. i will be taking mechanics and the book is "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems" by Thornton. I was wondering if...

cool. have you delt with PF construction adhesive? I use it at work a lot and it is amazingly strong! What a sweet sounding job. Sounds like i should get involved with chem. It will surely be a heavy load though.

physics and... So i just got accepted into the U.of Virginia as a transfer. I've decided to major in physics because it is so much fun. But I am also very interested in engineering and chemistry. I've also already taken intro courses in chemistry, biology,and fluid mechanics as well as freshman...

Anyone heard of the band Meshuggah? Their beats and timing are very interesting. Like windshield wipers on different cars, oscillating at slightly different frequencies. I Just thought they must be into math and physics.

Yeah i have been a bit scared of this. I've got a 3.7 at nvcc which, at a university, would probably be just a 3.0 or even less. In preparation for this i have decided not to work for my fist year at the university and get a cot in the Library! Also i think it would be helpful for me...

ha, that sounds just like the question all the schools i applied too wanted a 1 page answer for. I will be earning my associates degree at my community college at the end of this semester. so ill need two more years for a bachelor. I like the sound of academically challenging. This is the...

Stony brook did seem like a pretty depressing place. All that dirty concrete was a little scary. Thanks for your advice. I do like to go out on the weekends but two hours into NYC is a little far.

Im transferring as an undergrad next semester and planning to study physics. I've been accepted into Auburn and stony brook so far. I am still waiting to hear from VA. since i live in VA its my top pic, but it is very competitive so I am ready for rejection. I believe both stony brook and...

oh, i saw Fourier transforms in the back of my DE book I am a physics major in community college. I am getting ready to transfer but i wasnt sure if i needed to learn Fourier transforms. I haven't seen them in any class yet. At my school Fourier transforms are taught in an engineering class...

auburn Well i just put in my application for auburn. I am a cc student in virginia and i heard auburn was an excellent school for physics or engineering. it seems theyre doing lots of interesting and forefront research. And it seems like there is a large physics faculty.
