    Drawing Science
AI Thread Summary
Choosing between science and technical drawing/woodwork in high school depends on future goals and personal interests. Woodwork and technical drawing can lead to practical skills useful for careers in carpentry or design, while science is a core subject valued by universities. Not taking science may limit options for advanced courses like physics, chemistry, and biology later on. In some regions, science is mandatory until a certain grade, and taking additional science classes can enhance university admission prospects. Overall, it's important to balance personal interests with academic requirements to ensure a well-rounded education.

It really depends on what you hope to achieve and what you truly enjoy.

If you want to finish high school and find a carpentry apprenticeship for example, then wood working may be more useful. Similarly technical drawing could be useful for graphic design courses or an Architecture degree.

Science is more of a core subject and probably held in higher regard by most admissions tutors for universities.
 
ok thanks man

but i like science too

If you're just starting high school and will not be taking 'science', you won't be able to take physics, chemistry and biology later. You'd better take science. You can technical drawing and woodwork later.

How old are you and what country are you in? Where I'm from, you have to take science until grade 10 and then you have to take 1 of physics 11, chemistry 11 or biology 11 to even graduate.
 
I recommend you add some grammar classes to that (Only half joking). What country are you in? Here in the US, at least in my state, physical/earth science, biology, and chemistry or physics is mandatory.

Even a fourth and more science classes are recommended to even get into a wait list for a good university. I'm shooting for my fourth next year, and fifth and sixth senior year.

By the way, high school science classes here in the Us are embarrassingly easy.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
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.
