Hi Moni,

Not a scientist, just a bookworm.

My Dad wouldn't pay my expenses in college if I went into any field of science, because he said I wouldn't make enough money. :frown:

My interests still are in cosmology, archaeology, and quantum physics and I try to keep current in my spare time.

Oh! Exellent! I am also a bookworm and mad for good movies :)
But not much read English books, most of the books I read are (near 1000+) in our native language - Bangla :)

And about your father...I don't know in our countries (Bangladesh) people think that they should study science and Engineering to earn more money and led a good life :( Why your father thinking in that way? Then how old are you and what you are studying now? Arts?...

I am also not that *Physics* student (I am of CSE) but I like physics very much :) and surprizingly I don't like practical fields of Physics only the theoriticas...ha..ha...Theory of every thing ;)

And as I've read Carl Sagan I like cosmology too :)
 
I am also interested to know in which field the money can be found :P but I'd have to agree with your dad that in Science we are usually dependent on grants which last usually 2-3 maybe 4 years.. not really a steady job.. or companies which are very demanding on results.
 
Oh! Then what companies are looking for ?
 
My dad made me go for a business management degree (which I HATED). I design & sell data communications networks and it is quite lucrative. So, I make a lot of money, but it's not really what I am interested in.
 
Oh! Then here is me again CLOSE-UP:

Hi Moni,

Sorry, I didn't get to answer all of your questions.

I'm 48 (yes, the picture is recent, about 2 years old). I am not in school, well, due to being in technical sales, I do have to occasionally attend "school" provided by the company I work for to keep up with what's going on.

Monique - technical or medical sales for a large corporation will have annual incomes exceeding $100,000 US dollars. The jobs are frantic, stressful and offer little besides financial rewards, very cutthroat. I never wanted or expected to enter this field...it just happened. I'd much rather be a scientist.

My daughter says my picture looks like I'm angry, so here is a "happier" one.

Hmm...you are may be the most senior over here!

Your work is then good for money but not for mental setisfaction :( This is also main problem in 3rd world countries :(

I don't know scientist work for their mental setisfaction or for money (Nuclear weapon developers) or for betterment of humanity (Ancient scientists - Hypetia, Archemedes...) but I like them as they find new things...they search the nature to collect pearls for ours! May be we are the users who are abusing science...

Hmm...your new pic is OK! Happy :) Your daughter have good eyes...why don't you show any family photo?
 
Thank you Warren. I guess the "Look 10 years younger" lens filter I bought for my camera was worth it. :)
 
Theres a photo of me at ...

Blackplanet.com on my page username 1amp

Let me see if I can dig up a pic..


OMG... You look so much like Elaine from Final Fantasy 8!

I stopped those interests when I saw a few texts on those subjects... The mathematics is just too bazar for me right now. I mean.. tripple integrals,... come on...
 
It gets worse. As long as it's a simple Riemann-integral, no problemo. Wail till you get to Lebesgue-integrals :wink:
 
The Newcomer's picture...

Here is the best picture of me that i could find from the summer of 2003...

Haha. I'm finding these hilarious. (I'm in the process right now of rediscovering physicsforums.)

This picture's a year or two old, but without a digital camera or a scanner, it is all I can give. :)

Great picture! You should also enter the cutestguy/gal at PF contest.
 
Can somebody tell me how to enter?
