    Is the job market good for astro physic majors or general physic majors?

    Calculators What is a good graphing calculator?

    Something that will take me through AP Calc to the most crazy Physics or Math work that can be done... I don't use a calculator as a crutch, but I would like something that I can fall back on for common equations or problems. If it simplifies radicals I will be overjoyed.

    Schools Any suggestions for a University?

    My biggest fear with going outside the US is being behind. For example in the US, getting a B in AP calc is considered wonderful. But in the UK that is pathetic because they finish Calc in like 9th grade.
