What to do with my life...
Hello, my name is Sebastian and I am in 12th grade. I do not know what to study in college. In the past two years of my life I have realized that school (learning) is what I enjoy the most. School has become my hobby, my sport, my life (other than God.) I do not know what I want to study in college. My parents have suggested for me to be a doctor or a lawyer. I do not have a problem with either of them; however, right now in my life, I do not feel like I could live or enjoy my life without some form of Math (and God). This year, my senior year, I was somewhat "blessed" for taking physics. I know that I have only learned a little bit of elementary physics, but I enjoy it. I like Physics because I get better understanding of the things that happen around me.
I will be attending USC upstate. It is not where i would like to attend, however, I will be transfering out. USC upstate does not offer Physics. I have signed up for pre-engineering. It takes two years and then I would have to transfer to USC Columbia (Thats the big USC.) Right now in my life I would like to have a major that deals with Mathematics and Physics. That is one of the reason of why i chose engineering. Before deciding of pre-engineering I wanted to be a Physicist and I still do. I read Zapperz's "So You Want To Be A Physicist" and I have the feeling of becoming a Physicist again.
I do not know what i should do as for my major of studies right now. Zapper's "So You Want To Be A Physicist" said that one needs to know a lot of Math to become a Physicist. Should i then for now change my major from pre-engineering to Mathematics?
I want to keep my options open, however, I know that in order for one to major in a certain area one must take certain classes. I, at first, had undecleared major but i changed it to pre-engineering in case I wanted to do that.
Just for the heck of it, I also chose pre-engineering because I read a comment of Astronuc about helping other countries that do not have clean water. Well, there are many things that I want and will accomplish in my life and helping others is one of them. Perhaps becoming an Engineer, Civil Engineer, would help me with that.
PhysicsForums has become somewhat a friend of mine. I do not know anybody that I can talk to about what I would like to do with my life. People in my school or at least the ones around me are always more interested on what party they will be attending over the weekends. I am not the type of person that likes going to parties. Studying is the way for me to have fun. I appreciate if anybody could talk to me about what I should do. Forgive me if my English is not too good. Thank you.
