My school actually offers that, but I've been told by many people that choosing to major in it pigeonholes you and pretty much screws you over if you end up not being an actuary. I was thinking about doing pure/ financial math instead of the actual actuary program (I also need help with...

What are your thoughts on actuarial science? I feel like that'd be a really good math-based career.

Is it worth doing pure math if you're not going into academia? Would it be a bad idea to get your bachelors in pure math and stop there? Is pure math just something for people who want to go on to grad school? I'm just not sure if there are good job prospects for someone with a bachelors in...

I'm a few weeks into my summer, and I haven't really been doing anything. Most of my days are spent sitting on my computer bored or watching shows that I'm following. I'm in the process of setting up an internship, but at this point we're just waiting for the process to continue which might be a...

This is a program through my school so there are teachers I can ask for help about this, yes. I'll talk to them about it and research possible schools that I could do this for. Thanks a lot If anyone else has anything else in mind, post ahead =]

What I do like: chemical, electrical, math What I don't like: Aerospace, mechanical Somewhat interesting: Robotics, physics, biology, computer science Suppose I could contact the universities near me and see? I live around 30 miles from Columbus, Ohio.

I mean.. I have some hobbies and stuff I like but I'd like to do something that will be interesting and is also relevant to what I want to do in the future. I think interning somewhere would be awesome but I'm just not sure if there are opportunities like that around here.

Those are good ideas, but I'm not sure how interested I am in programming. This is something that is supposed to take up a lot of time and effort on my part and I want to make sure it's something I'll enjoy.

I was interested in interning somewhere, but I'm not entirely sure how one goes about finding an intern in what I'm looking for. I already have a computer and don't have the money to buy another one, but that's another idea that many people have done. I could learn how to program and have some...

Hello! I'm a junior in high school, and my school requires that every senior complete a "senior project" along with a research paper related to your project. Pretty much, you're supposed to do something that provides you with a learning experience or something that can help you grow as a person...

Yeah, I mistook Advanced Calc 1/2 for perhaps honors versions of regular Calc 1/2, when they turned out to be a whole different thing.

I saw that too. I'll look into seeing if they have a summer offering for it. Also, it turns out Advanced Calc 1/2 are what you take after Calc 3. It's not an honors thing but more of a higher up Calculus class apparently. Guess I'm going with regular Calc 1/2 at the university next year. Thank...

Thanks for the advice. I haven't really had (well, any besides a few easy ones in geometry) experience in proofs, so maybe it would be smart to read up and practice a little with them over the summer, and then decide if I want to take the proof-based courses or not. The poster before you...

Yeah I was going to give a disclaimer that I can't really "say" how smart I am. Just wanted to add the IQ and anything else to give people a general idea. Thanks for the advice though! I'll look into seeing whether they offer a class similar to what you suggested in the summer.

But would taking that in high school be a bad idea? My university's ODE class would be more rigorous and I'm not sure if it's a bad idea to take it at an easier college.
