<p>haha sure. it’s either you don’t like it that much, or you just can’t hang w/ the physics krew.</p>
<p>Pretty good Raimius! You?</p>
<p>@silence_kit she could also be like me… I find most of the sciences very interesting, but I can’t see myself dedicated to a career that revolves around them. Got a lotta respect for those who do.</p>
<p>Well, most subjects have varying levels, career-wise.
Some people couldn’t stand being a physicst, but they’re really good at managing programs in physics (which requires a little less technical knowledge).<br>
Perhaps it isn’t really the actual science that you enjoy, but the process of solving certain types of problems. </p>
<p>@hurricane, I’m doing great. I didn’t know you posted on CC. Small world.</p>
<p>Not at all, I’m great at physics if I can so so for a moment. I don’t, however, generally like the other people involved in it. And the theme of the century seems to be ‘You need to work with other people! No one works by themselves anymore’, I’d bust a nerve hanging around with arrogant social ■■■■■■■ for 8+ hours a day for years.</p>
<p>you can get pretty much any job with a physics degree, except the ones that require specific skills (like nursing and whatnot). and no matter what field you’ll go into, most likely you have to work with other people - scientists rarely work alone whether it’s field work, lab work, publishing, industry, engineering, science policy, journalism, or doing physics documentaries on the discovery channel…
the same is true for medicine, interior design, business, literally almost every field. You don’t have to spend every minute of the day with them, but you have to learn to work with other people (the only people who refuse to do so are the arrogant social ■■■■■■■).
ignore the nerdy dbags at whatever top 20 college you attend; the majority of people I have met working in labs aren’t like that at all because being surrounded by those smarter than you takes you down a notch real quick.</p>
<p>and relax a little…making friends comes naturally, you didn’t plan it out, right? same with what you want out of life, you can’t really plan it perfectly, you have to let it come to you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That means you don’t like them that much. I like talking casually about philosophy, music, and politics, but I don’t actually like them enough to study those subjects. I like playing tennis, but I don’t like it so much that I practice a lot and compete in amateur USTA tournaments, etc, etc . . .</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol yeah you are much too modest to work with them</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, sorry; I mean, man I royally suck at the thing I have chosen to devote 4 years of life and effort to. How dare I be so presumptuous and even imply that I may be good at something that is relevant to the topic? The cheek of me.</p>
<p>oh come on the way you are saying that you don’t want to be a physicist is really arrogant. it’s like the profession is beneath you</p>
<p>if you were honest, you’d say that you don’t like physics that much or you just aren’t good enough to come up with original physics</p>
<p>“i would play pro football in the nfl . . . it’s just that I can’t see myself doing that for a career . . .”</p>
<p>silence_kit, please go and meet some of these suckers or, indeed, actually observe a real physicist and I think you’ll agree that what I said was pretty accurate. Until then, please keep your half thought-out comments in your hat.</p>
<p>haha, i’m taking a physics course this semester and the professor is a pleasant guy. he’s no conan obrien, but he certainly isn’t an “arrogant social ■■■■■■”. </p>
<p>you really do fashion yourself the next feynman (but a feynman who was too cool for physics) don’t you . . .</p>
<p>I’ve heard of delusions of grandeur but never of delusions of delusions of grandeur. If I wanted to be the next Feynman, I wouldn’t be posting asking how I can figure out what I want to do with my life. Hence, obviously not.</p>
<p>well you definitely have the ability to be a world-renown physicist and would go into the field but it is just that physicists are so uncool</p>
<p>haha im loving this thread</p>
<p>anyway, i’m out. i’m above posting on message boards. <em>hitches a ride on an electron and zooms against the e-field (im a reble)</em></p>
<p>Beside the point, there is no reason to get all up in arms about it. OP doesn’t what to be a physicist.</p>
<p>Are there any jobs revolving around physics besides being a physicist that you would like? I don’t know much about the field. I have a friend that is really interested in engineering but doesn’t actually want to be an engineer, so she is doing some kind of technical writing thing. </p>
<p>What sort of things do you like to do in general?</p>
<p>yeah the general theme of society is “teamwork good”… and it’s pretty right.</p>
<p>“i’m above posting on message boards.”</p>
<p>That’s why you have 900 posts right?</p>
<p>World-renowned? Whore, are you on crack? Are we even reading the same THREAD? There are options between ‘world renowned’ and ‘****ty’ and I never implied I was either. Go natter somewhere else.
Hehe~</p>
<p>Well, damn.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s awesome. “I’m like to believe that I’m the kind of person who thinks he’s a total badass.”</p>
