I’m getting to a point where what I choose at college will determine what I can study at university. It’s pretty scary, I mean, I’m 15. Okay, so there are also a lot of people making these choices who are 16, but that still feels a bit young.
There’s just so much to choose from. There are so many careers that a lot of people haven’t heard of before. Heck, we even have to accept that I’m preparing for jobs that don’t even exist yet! My father was learning about the jobs that were prominent when he was young, he never thought he’d grow up to work with computers, they were the things of dreams. So what lies in my future, that I can’t even imagine yet?
Science seems like a good starting point to build a career, that or business, but I’ve never been a very good communicator.I just don’t want to finish my education and stop needing to learn.
In science, you are continually learning about new discoveries being made each day. You get to talk to other people about your findings, and their own discoveries.
But it’s such a wide field, it literally incorporates everything around us, it’s such a tangled web to make sense of.
I have no idea which direction to turn, so at the moment I’ve signed up for higher maths and higher physics. I like physics, to discover how to produce energy cheaply from nuclear fusion would be amazing. I’ll also do standard chemistry, I’ve heard univeristies like it, because it focuses on the essence of what we are made up of, and how things react.
I just always end up thinking about that show, The Big Bang Theory. From the episodes I’ve seen, those guys just get to learn about all kinds of cool stuff, and then muck about with physics at work. If only reality was as sweet.
