AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on aspirations to become a rocket scientist, with key inquiries about ideal workplaces, living conditions, and salary expectations. Participants suggest that aerospace job hubs are preferable for employment, with a mention of downtown Detroit as a potential living area due to its amenities. However, there is a consensus that planning for such specifics at a young age, especially in 7th grade, may be premature. The unpredictability of future job markets and living conditions is emphasized, noting that specialized fields like astronomy often have limited job opportunities. The conversation highlights the importance of keeping options open and being adaptable in career planning.

Although I'm sure i might change my mind, i want to become a rocket scientist. Though i have a few questions:

1.Where would be a preferable place to work
2.where would be a good place to live- nice house, good schools, and low crime rate
3.what will my salary look like

If you know any answer to these questions or would like to add a comment, please do so.
Thanks for your time!

1. A place that has aerospace jobs
2. Downtown Detroit
3. Hopefully like money
 
TOE, I suggest you read this thread.

It was started by someone about the same age as you, with about the same questions. People got sick of answering his questions very quickly, as he never seemed to understand their answers. You've said you're in 7th grade. You've got 15+ years before you're in a position to be thinking about places you want to settle down, companies to work for, and salaries to expect. It's fun to dream, but there's no point in trying to make plans for the future this far ahead. Who knows what companies will still be running, how the economy will look, where the good places to live will be. In this day and age, many of us take the jobs we can get, no matter where we end up living. Jobs as an astronomer tend to be few and far between - we can't just pick a city and say we're going to move there and get a job. This is a very specialized profession.
 
Yeah thanks, i just don`t hope i sound that annoying :) (the guy into astrophysics)
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
