<p>Hey everyone, I'm new on this forum, I've read through a few posts, so i know I'm not the only one confused. I need help looking for a major, i know nobody can tell me what to do, but there are so many options i dont know what to pick from. </p>
<p>A little about my self. I am a 22 year old veteran, i am using the post 9/11 GI bill and the texas hazelwood act. I have well developed analytical skills ( i was an intelligence analyst). I really enjoy science and at first i was thinking premed. I listed my major as biology because the school said i needed to pick something and i could change it later. I was hoping to go into a field that makes good money, and will have great options for advancement. I have good art skills, i learn very quickly. Ive been toying with the idea of going into physics and engineering, but biological sciences come very easy to me, and i dont want to skip out on something that i have a natural affinity towards. You should always try to make use of your talents right? I want to go into a field that allows me to help invent or create something new, so on that note I was kind of thinking genetic engineering. On the flip side though if i go into physics and engineering i could work with NASA on next generation space flight. Whatever i do im not stopping until i have at least a graduate degree and im getting a teaching certificate so i can teach science as a fall back option. My mind is racing and i dont know if i gave enough information, so please feel free to ask any questions!</p>
<p>thanks all,</p>
<p>also can you get education funds (scholarships or grants) for having a high IQ? The military gave me an IQ test and i scored 132, i know its good, but is it good enough?</p>
<p>I’m doing a biochemical major with this I can become a biochemical engineer, they make bank. But research it on google. Biology isn’t a great way to make money. I only know this because I’m double majoring in biochem and marine bio. The marine biologists and oceanorgaphers I know always tell me it’s a vow of poverty. But I love it. Find something you love to do and money won’t matter as much. </p>
<p>Btw thank you for your service. :)</p>
<p>I thought about biochemical engineering as well. Im fascinated with the way or world works, all of the minute facets of our everyday existence that we take for granted. The complexity of physical matter in our universe, astounds me. Furthermore, our ability to harness the raw power of nature itself. On top of all that, i think life itself is even more special. My plan was fallen into bio-medical/bio-mechanical engineering, perhaps learning techniques to further the advancement of gene manipulation or organ cloning to help make humans healthier being with greater longevity. </p>
<p>Then again, everything that space has to offer really excites me. I would really enjoy creating the next generation of space travel, perhaps work in warp theory and technology, or even cryo-genesis. There are so many options, but I’ve narrowed down my choices to physics/ astro-engineering or bio-mechanical/biomedical engineering. I really just dont know though. Anyone who has more information or experience would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks All</p>
<p>There are bio-engineering positions related to space flight. Figuring out how the human body reacts to long-term space travel, zero gravity and such - and ways to adapt the body to those environments - is vitally important to future space exploration, including any manned missions to Mars.</p>
