Materials Science & Engineering

Materials science and engineering would likely be very helpful. Think of the guy that invented/discovered Nitinol or Graphene. You get the basics behind you to not only understand, but create some of these new and fascinating materials, you'll be all set.

So ive decided to concider taking a bachelors in chemistry. I feel it will help me comprehend what is going on. I will probly focus on physical chemistry but the idea of having a core understanding science is appealing. If anyone has any comments that would be appreciated

you cant make any money doing that crap.


get a REAL career going.


Xray technician, MRI tech, etc etc EASY and good money

Whatever you choose will be fine as long as you love what you are doing in the end. I have seen men get all kinds of degrees and end up in business accounting because there is always a need for the younger man who is able to take over where the older man falls off.

The medical field and chemistry go together for big money as there is Gov funding. The main thing is that you learn something new your entire life and school helps to discipline your behavior patterns so you can excel.

You won't really know what you want til you have gone into that field of work in the real world. College does not show you what the real world is like, unless you do co-op like one of the other guys mentioned.

You may change your mind every 2 years. Crack down and digest as much as you can as young as possible, this is the spring time for you. Enjoy.

...maybe a merchant banker or hedge fund manager. You could then fund a set of laboratories in all the different disciplines.

yea or insurance scamsman, i mean salesman, theres also, yea bank worker, erm, about any job left over in america, it pertains to scamming people, health insurance, theres one and theyre building themselves up money for that one. if your just looking to fund yoru projects. but then theyll put out bad words about you to try to destroy your career and destroy, more importantly, your project. being a doctor in america is illegal now, you know that? if you take money for procedures? its illegal. so that people will have to buy insurance. thats what i heard.

On a serious note, in my view, the bedrock of new energy has to be Physics. Not necessarily to University level, but certainly through to the last year of high school.

(It can all be learned later, of course, but without a good understanding of conventional electricity [leaving aside exotic stuff which won't be available anyway], electronics, mechanics, machines, and lab experimental practice, anyone would be seriously hampered).
