manuel carvalho Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 well I'm a little stressed because I'm not sure what carrer I am going to study.I was thinking on study physics because it's a subject that I really enjoy A LOT but in my country this is not a good paid carrer and the most probaly is that you end up working like a teacher. I also was thinking on study engineer, I also enjoy it but not like physics, my parents are trying to convince me to study engineer because it very well pay and it's a more stable carrer.what would you do? tell me what are you going to study and what are your expectatives Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChikkyD Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Engineering involves both a lot of maths AND a lot of physics. My boyfriend is currently studying engineering and he's always complaining about it . Engineering is a very stable career, yes. And it does combine your preferred physics, with a suitable career goal. Studying just physics seems like a bit of a waste. Sure you may like it, but what would you get out of it? You'd most likely, as you yourself said, end up being a teacher. I'd go with engineering if I were you. When do you graduate? If you're only just beginning IB, don't stress too much Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Engineering involves both a lot of maths AND a lot of physics. not completely true...! Engineering involves a lot of physics and some maths. or at least that's my impression towards the course. I faced the same dilemma actually. I wanted to study Pure Maths but would probably end up being a teacher that way. so I chose to study Engineering back then. but once I looked at the course content... OMG! all of those are physics modules!!! no maths modules! :( I am a lot better at maths than physics (meaning I'm really really bad at physics) so I changed my mind. now I don't want to study engineering anymore. I'm still conflicted though: Mathematics VS Computer Science (in which Maths is applied). so, we're in the same boat. well, maybe not really, because I've decided to study CS I honestly suggest you to study Engineering! it's not that bad--depending on which type of engineering you are into! I was into Mechanical Engineering and the course contents (that I read on a uni's website, forgot which uni though) are all physics related (or, maybe a few were maths related but I didn't notice). if I were you I'd go with Engineering! are you into robotics? it's cool... studying a pure science, you're likely to be a teacher or a lecturer. or spend your whole life researching... which is sad in my opinion. go for Engineering.
