AI Thread Summary
To pursue a career as a scientist or electronics technician, it's essential to focus on relevant courses during high school, particularly advanced math, chemistry, and computer science. Specific interests in fields such as aerospace engineering, astrophysics, or electronics will guide course selection. For electronics, obtaining an electrical engineering degree is crucial, while aspiring electricians should seek programs with apprenticeship opportunities. BCIT offers core programs for electronics technicians, which can lead to various careers. Combining electronics with computer science can lead to IT roles, while chemistry and computer science may open doors in biomedical imaging. Overall, pursuing multiple degrees can enhance career prospects in these fields.

It all depends on what specific scientific field you'd like to enter. Advanced math classes now will help with all of them. Any ideas of what specific field you'd be interested in?
 


i'm not too sure, i am very interested in chemistry, as well as advancing technology (pretty sure that would fall under engineering tho). I also like physics, math, and the universe (space related).

That's not electronics, that's aerospace engineering, astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology, physics and assorted related fields.

I'm bringing this in from your other thread 'cause it got closed:

In the field of electronics, it is best to have multiple degrees i have been told, so i plan to get plenty withing my interest range.
What is your interest?
If you want to be an electrician, you want a school that has connections to shops you can do your apprenticeship at. If you want to make electronics, you need an electrical engineering degree. You can do both-I have a friend who is-but do you want to?
 


Well, i was planning on going to BCIT since i live in BC. They have some electronics technician core programs that i was thinking of taking. I also want to take chemistry and computer sciences. Any idea of a career that applies, 1-2-3 of these.

Electronics tech + comp sci = it staff, 'specially help desk and maintenance
chemistry + comp sci = biomedical imaging/computational modeling
chemistry + electronics = lab tech
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'PhD Admission: What Do Committees Want from an MS Applicant in Research?'

I am currently in the second (and final) year of my MS in Physics. I've just started my research, which focuses on identifying Dark Matter through Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions. My supervisor has directed me to learn model building using FeynRules and subsequent calculations via MadGraph or other simulators. I've successfully built models for QED and QCD, and I am now working on Weak Interactions, Electroweak theory, and symmetry breaking. My immediate goal for the next few...
