AnyMr(s). Anons here have a knowledge of any given STEM field beyond that of the "OMG science is so cool" level?
If you do major in STEM what is it?
Mine is in physics , and i'm planning long-term to get a PhD in something like materials or optics.
They usually lead to good industry jobs and maybe I can get a research position at a national lab one day years from now.

What about you?

Good to hear you've got a gameplan going,Mr(s). Anon.

Mathematician here. Always been interested in topology and quantum physics subject wise, though, I admit hat relative to physicists, I probably know jack about the technicalities of quantum.
>mfw I tried to explain topology to my daughter with playdough though

always wanted to study biology, but I'm not a biologist. I want to go to a university to get an idea of it, but I'm still saving up for that.

Anybody know what job prospects are like for people with degrees in bio?

OP here , both my parents have their PhDs in biology. If i wasn't good enough at math for physics i'd either being doing that or engineering.
The good job prospects for bio are in microbio , biochem. or if you can hack it becoming a doctor. So if you want a non-acediamic job , since there is little mobility for faculty positions, if you do get a PhD and your research was in microbio , you might be developing for vaccines. its what my mother did when she worked at baxter and other biofirms for many years.

Nice, thanks.

Mr(s). Anonymous 04/05/15 (Sun) 10:16:35 No.3534

nope.

all my scientific knowledge comes from hobby and general interest and science journals.

i like reading pop science books like a brief history of space and time

Dropoutgent here. Had flunked grades all throughout high school because brains can have imperfections chemically; but now I've proper rehabilitation and a desire to excel in experimental physics.

Wish me luck.

Good luck,Mr(s). Anon. Also, quick note: I edited your post to add a space after "dropoutgent" because the word filter removed it.

Also, fixed the word filter for "gent".

Studying environmental science, know plant biology and some taxonomy, animal biology too but on a more basic level, study paleontology as a hobby. I'm very interested in ecosystems and evolution, planning on learning about and protecting the natural world.
