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

    So you basically want to study metaphysics? Remember the best philosophers have no degree...They just sit and think.

    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.

    $1000 offer to the poor for sterilization

    How about a new program...Mandatory Birth Control until age 18. Our systems are anti-poor. You can't pay your bills, they charge you more. You can't pay the extra bills or taxes, they throw you in jail. You can't earn money in jail, so you exit jail with debt.

    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.

    How about Biophysics? I seems like it would add more math to your interest of biology.
