Hello, every one! I'm 26 now. I majored in Chemical Engineering and graduated from National Taiwan University. Then I applied college again (major in physics now) to fulfill my dream ---- be a philosopher of physics. Now, I'm senior. I've studied the quantum Physics, thermal physics, classical mechanics, applied math and etc.
However, the more knowledge I have, the more frustrated I am. I got A+ in every required undergraduate class. But when I realized the difficulties of being a philosopher of physicist or even theoretical physicist, I started to think about changing my career plan.
In addition to being a physicist, I also want to be a philosopher of ethics because I want to know if there is absolute moral maxim in this world. If I find it, then maybe I can do something good and make this world a better place. (I know it is very ridiculous, but that is what I really want.. ) Or, I want to be a novelist like Ayn Rand, and Albert Camus. I'd like to write books to improve this world.
Here is the thing. What kind of things I can do to help people with my physics knowledge?
I do think about being an engineer. But, I always doubt that if technology really makes this world a better place. My current answer is "no".
I always ask myself: What kind of technology do we "really" need?
I don't know.
Maybe I can help poor people with my physics knowledge? But how? Is it possible?
Join Bill Gate's foundation?
Sorry for my poor english. I just need someone to give me some advice.
Thanks in advance...
