I like the lifestyle. I also like teaching and leaving an impact on people, if possible (though this is idealized).

That makes things sound worse than I ever thought previously.

I'm a high school senior atm. I'm trying to get a good idea of what I want to major in because that will determine what schools I apply to and what school I go to. So, here's the deal. I'm nearly certain I want to be a professor. I liked AP physics a lot and I've always been very good at...

Hello, I have a few questions regarding the astrophysicist profession. I have had an interest in the field for a long time. Do astrophysicists face the same massive competition for professorship that most physicists do? How is the job market overall for the profession What would be an example...

You have to remember it takes a certain kind of person to lead men into a war zone, in the air or on the ground.

How far have you looked into this? Are you sure you want to be an officer in the Air Force? You may decide you want to stay longer than the 7 years if you really like it.

I'm in the US. Isn't it different in Australia?

Hello, I need some guidance here. I'll be going into college with 70 credits or so, so I have decided I would like to double major. I want to choose two majors that will leave me with the most opportunities for grad school. I was always interested in black holes, time, etc., as well as...

Awesome, how do you like the physics dept. thus far?

Hah, I don't know about that just because I won't have many easy gen eds to pair with the rigorous upper level courses. I'll just have several 300 and 400 level classes.

Next year I am taking my classes at a local college. I am enrolled in mostly business and math classes, because the only physics classes I can take would be review. I'll have calc 1-3, differential equations, and linear algebra all covered by the time I enter as a freshman. I'm pretty certain I...

I'm not 100% sure what I want to do after college, but I know I major in physics. I ultimately want to be a college professor. Currently, my top choice is University of Maryland. I'm going into my senior year of HS, and I'm going to have nearly 70 credits going into college. For this reason, I...
