At that point, finishing high school was a mere formality. I'd started at college (uni, I still retain many of my Australian idioms).

Hi. I have always nurtured an ambition to pursue a career as a cosmologist, and I've never truly understood how to get there. I've spoken with a career guidance person to no avail, and after a brief foray into aerospace engineering, I have earned a BS in physics and Chemistry from Caltech. From...

Something to do. Interest. Things like that. I know it sounds strange, but that is how I feel.

Ah then. Is it possible for me to do a Bachelor of Engineering, then commence higher studies in say, Physics?

I have, and I do find it very intruiging. Do you think that a graduate degree is nessecary to work as an engineer?

Hmmm. What about Chemical? To me, that sounds as interesting, if not more so, than Electrical.

Ah, okay. Which engineering branch is the most mathematical? I believe that that is the one I would like to study.

Also, does anyone know how much coursework is in engineering on average? If there is a lot, then I may have to rethink it...

Thing is, all my friends are exactly like me...

I'm beginning to think that Engineering is the way to go. And sorry for the IQ thing, it's just that my intelligence is really my only positive trait, so I tend to display it more than I should ;)

Um, well since I am fibished high school, I am expected to now attend university, and really the only options for me are as you said, technical fields. I could either do a Bachelor of science or engineering.

What do you mean?

Yeah, I may do engineering first, and then, if i can, another degree in Physics later. Speaking of which, is it worth it getting a Ph.D in Engineering. Or is that more for physics and mathematics?

No, they just tend to pressure me a lot. Being a child prodigy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I kind of have to, my parents are paying the fees.
