I am a physics major. My major is most important because the discoveries made affect all fields of science (Chemistry is applied physics, particle physics especially, biology is applied chemistry, etc;etc) and often affect Mathematics as well, and, if they don't, still contribute to the advancement of humanity, while a discovery made in, say, Math may contribute to Physics, it quite often goes without impacting the rest of the world.

However, I prefer to think that all of the high level fields are equal, and the liberal arts fields have their own claim to fame in that they make life in general more enjoyable, especially with the often low pay, and I admire them greatly.

We experienced our greatest loss at the end of the first year.

I was chasing a qt in astrophysics until recently but she may or may not have literally gone insane and I'm fairly sure she dropped to go into computer science.

Chemistry was a thing at my school; we're one of the former hot spots for pharmaceutical companies.

Why not chemistry?
1. Pay is shit until you get a PhD.
2. Jobs are non-existent.
3. Field is dominated by those who don't know math
4. Do study material science or nanoparticles instead of Chemistry if you must do.
5. Arrogance is through the roof.
6. The top 2 students in my class basically work in their lab from 5PM to 1AM
7. The smart kids end up applying to med school.
8. I'm not fucking kidding you when I say pay is shit because I'd rather be a construction worker than get this stupid fucking degree.
9. Unless you're learning from a computational background, get used to hand waiving.
10. I have lab reports every 2 weeks, presentations every 2 weeks, problem sets due every week; I'd rather be an engineer right now cranking through problem sets

I would be a chemical engineer major, but that program just started at my uni, and from the words of everyone so far, it's disorganized, shitty, and not highly respected. I also can't program, which is the major reason why.

All that random shit is highly valued by graduate schools/industry if you're able to eek through with a GPA higher than 3.0. One of my buddies got into a biochemistry doctorate program (faculty sponsored) because he was a BME and had done undergrad research. Same goes for medical schools.

Math is good, but subfields of applied math are more useful in society right now.

I see working to solve problems in computer science to have the greatest return to humanity currently.

Although modern chemistry also looks on the cusp of breakthroughs that will be important in the coming decade. Biotech as well, but that requires work from a lot of fields and isn't as easily narrowed down.

I haven't seen anything coming out of physics lately that is going to be very useful to humanity to understand. Quantum entanglement shows the most promise, but I'm skeptical of it ever having any actual relevance to anything.

Physics is a good major. Just bear in mind that the applied math nature of physics isnt nearly as obvious at the lower division level. In quantum mechanics it feels like the physics takes a backseat to the math, at least in terms of how much time you spend thinking about them. Also make sure you are aware of the nature of a career in physics, should you pursue that rather than going into industry.

I've been a bit unusually dissuaded, I think, by having a particularly math-heavy course load, which I seem to no longer have the determination to excel at. I'm expatriating to software engineering while completing the degree, as the union of the two disciplines is useful and programming satisfies the same problem solving itch with somewhat less intense math and far greater ease of pursuing projects.

He probably will teach/work in something completely unrelated to his major.

I have an acquaintance who has a masters in physics, she currently teaches at a community college. She told me that out of her peers in her graduating class for physics (which she could count in two hands), one of them also teaches, while another went to the military, and another into business, another teaches high school. Physics as a major is not all that, unless you are a genius who is going to contribute to society in a unique way through physics. Not many physics majors ever get to that.

i mean, you can get a decent average-salary job doing shit as a lab tech but you don't need a goddamn biochem degree to do western blot or PCR. the concepts are simple enough.

but if you wanna be the guy jerking off in his office on the computer all day, only coming out every so often to talk to the people you employ about shit you just thought up... then you need to get your PhD and spend a few miserable years after that proving yourself. and you also have to teach classes if you do research at a university.

i have absolutely no experience with industry jobs in biochem but the labs i toured as an undergrad said they hire "almost exclusively PhDs, with a few exceptional masters' holders".

should've just fucking done a 2 year lab tech degree. it would average out to nearly the same amount of money by the time i get an income source that isn't a measly stipend from the university for working 10 hours a day in lab.

2. Do chemistry as well if you can
3. DON'T loose track of your main major. I did and now that I took so much bio classes I'm going to graduate a semester later. No big deal, but still.

Quantum Chemists and Computational Chemists however make up a small fraction of the entire chemistry department, such that they receive a fraction of the funding.

The work of quantum chemist have made a footprint in all of chemistry however. I couldn't imagine a chemistry today without H-NMR.

Dunno about CEO, but there's plenty of phd's in math and physics working on wallstreet.

Between the two you put down, I think both are about the same and it mostly depends on what you want to end up doing, and how you complement your education with certifications (financial risk management exam, actuary exams, etc).

If you want to be a quant, you better be as good as you can at probability and statistics, linear algebra, data analysis, modeling/simulation, programming (mostly C++), finance (duh), and at least decent at calculus.

I have a friend doing an MS in mathematical finance, says the probability/statistics stuff can get pretty advanced, but the calculus is not too out there if you're coming from a STEM background in a good school.

Well, i don't know how it is in MUH 'RICA, but here we have this "science and technology" bachelor degree. We have math (calculus I,II,III - linear algebra - probability and statistics - etc), physics (I,II,III, quantum physics and some other stuff), computation and chemistry (nothing special about those).

It's a 3 years course, then you get your diplom. After that, you choose some engineer (2 years) or something else like math or physics (1 year) and get another diplom.

I'm doing science and technology because i still have no fucking idea what i want, and i'm good with numbers (at least i think so).

Not that bad, i think it's cool. Maybe i'm doing math when i finish it.

I find that sociology is the most important because without it there would be anarchy and that would be bad because then nobody would be able to build roads and then would be unable to go to work. Without anybody going to work, they would not earn any money and would be unable to buy things in shops like shampoo and toothpaste. Without such essential items, everyone would have very bad hygiene.

I am a chemistry major. While there are applications of physics in chemistry, it is not applied physics. Just by looking around, we cannot find one thing that is not made of atoms. Without chemistry, we wouldn't be able to feed our already oversized population. We wouldn't have many things we take for granted everyday such as any materials made of plastic (or any polymers for that matter), life saving drugs, and current research in renewable/alternative energy sources could not be we're they are today.

Honestly, I agree. Mathematics, physics, Chemistry, and engineering complement each other. We'd be severely limited by the loss of any of those fields.

I did neuro. It's nothing special. Didn't like the research because I didn't see application possibilities. Also, I've seen a bunch of students fall into the hocus pocus end of research after University. "Sound waves" that will treat mental conditions, yada yada. There's many different subfields in neuro. The new age stuff everyone has a hard one for is the one to be most wary of. It's a new area of research and can't draw on a history of pubs, so you are left without the level of context in which to interpret results you would get in other more established fields. Not a bad thing, but you also have a bunch of people from other disciplines, and there's poor communication between them. It's like mixing a bunch of computer scientists, physicists, physiologists, and neuroscientists, and they just don't know how to review each other's papers.

This is unless you work in a more established subfield, like the properties of channel signaling, which is more physics. There's also the pharmacologists/med guys that are more interested in finding blockers and agonists/antagonists, but they are more biochem oriented.

Then there's the "biopsych" people that try to meld psychology with neuroscience. These are basically part of the first camp, the new guys. Total mess.

I like concrete stuff, directly applicable principles that can actually be used for producing something useful, so doing stuff like financial mathematics or whatever is out of the question

Since I'm so unsure, should I get into some broad major like Biology, Chemistry or Chemical Engineering?
Also there are loads of subjects that derive from biology and mix up with chem and physics, like BME or microbio or biochem or whatever, could you guys give me insight on which ones are actually valuable and versatile?

Also if anyone's majoring in one of the aforementioned, I'd really appreciate if you could tell me if it's interesting and basically what you do and currently work on, perhaps that would help me choose.
