<p>Since I got a second major in physics, let me explain: most, if not all, physics majors I know went to grad school. Some go onto study physics in grad school, hoping to get a tenure-track position at a university after (likely) multiple postdocs. That’s the “dream job” path for many. Some, like me, go to grad school for engineering and plan to work in industry after graduation. Others go to professional school (medical school, law school, etc.). Still others find work in government labs. I’m willing to bet that the “rare” physics jobs are indeed becoming a tenured professor. Probably most go on to work in engineering. Since physics majors have strong quantitative skills and (of course) physics knowledge, they are very useful in industry. Regardless, physics majors aren’t at all limited to becoming a professor or teacher.</p>
<p>@txrex UofH is where i wanted to go from the start, i only applied to UT because i didnt want to be like i wonder if i would have got in UT 10years from now /and UofHs business school isnt bad at all, its setting me up to go to their Law School and work in Houston, which is the 5th largest legal market in the U.S. So if your saying UH is just a terrible school then imo thats your opinion</p>
<p>and as far as payscale, most rare jobs usually pay very well</p>
<p>and as far you saying my comment doesnt help, this thread was about going to UT or LSU(on a full ride) , i advised to take the full ride because they wont come around twice</p>
<p>and as far as physics isnt he a geology major?</p>
<p>and what dont people get about GRAD school? you dont need to go to Harvard to get into Yale for grad school, people think because they graduate from good schools they will get into better ones for grad school. Do any of you realize that their are tests for GRAD SCHOOL WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO THE SAT? that have a good amount of weight on your application? everyone knows that a good GPA and Test scores get you into GOOD SCHOOLS</p>
<p>@JR the mods got me too man, so dont complain </p>
<p>so i guess were even i thought they only got me lol</p>
<p>and the comment only applies to people who believe they are “suckers”</p>
<p>and JR their ranked 80?(btw where did you find that out, i couldnt find anything on them online as far as rank)i didnt even think they made the list lol but really people dont realize how many nice companys their are in Houston, and believe it or not many recruit from their Business school</p>
<p>Well, actually, it’s the very act of name calling here which prompted my “garbage” label. Regardless, I think we both know who was the target.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seriously, pierrechn: this data is available ALL OVER the internet. Do yourself a favor and search! Literally, go to google.com and type in “best undergraduate business programs us news” and several of the links will have the full list for undergrad business programs. It’s THAT easy, just try it!</p>
<p>I’m rather shocked that Uof H’s business program is ranked that high. </p>
<p>BTW, Pierrechn, just because one wishes to attend law school does not mean that you will be admitted into a top law school once you gain a degree from UofH. The LSAT is a difficult test–far more difficult than the SAT. I know this because I earned my JD from UT many years ago, thus I have experience from which to draw conclusions. </p>
<p>Law school admissions everywhere are extremely competitive–even at UofH’s mediocre law school. So, good luck with that.</p>
<p>yea i plan on studying for the test and why is their law school mediocre? im sure in Houston you will get a great job coming from their and i know the LSAT is difficult i have done my own research. but i do not think a degree from UH will hinder my chances at a top law school like harvard/yale/UT (assuming i get a 170+), </p>
<p>getting a degree from any college, doesnt mean you will gain admission to a top law school</p>
<p>now answer this dont you think i will be able to get a job in a big legal market? like houston coming from UofH</p>
<p>but btw im not planning on graduating from UH(or i may just stay if i end up enjoying my self), i will be transferring(if i can get a 3.5 or better) to UT or A&M for the 2011 - 2012 school year</p>
<p>Pierrechn–As an attorney employed by one of the largest law firms in the U.S., I can assure you that UofH’s law school is no better than fourth in the state. UT, SMU, and Baylor all surpass it when firms look to hire law school graduates. Texas Tech and UofH are on par with each other. </p>
<p>If you wish to spend upwards of $50,000 to obtain a law degree from UofH that is certainly your choice. But, top firms, and even midsize firms, will not be knocking on your door unless you pull a 4.0, and even then those offers will be few and far between. </p>
<p>If you truly wish to be an attorney, one area you could immediately improve upon would be your spelling tenses, e.g. the difference between “there” and “their” in sentences. Attorneys write massive amounts of briefs. </p>
<p>This thread has been thoroughly highjacked. Let’s leave this topic for now.</p>
<p>50k? its around 26k lol i dont worry about spelling to much when i post on the internet, because you know its just the internet</p>
<p>and your saying you dont think i can get a job with a JD from UH in Houston? i mean we all know UT/SMU/Baylor are better but in a big legal market i was thinking id be able to get one in Houston 4 sure</p>
<p>to tell you the truth i want to go to graduate school in Dallas(my home), i have been looking into SMU but idk if i will be able to afford that school 4 years down unless i get some good scholarships</p>
<p>But it’s not just some nameless “internet”. It is all of the people who read and communicate via this thread. Your lack of willingness to edit, punctuate and spellcheck your posts is an extreme that is rude, disrespectful and essentially hostile. Pay attention to the posts by others and then compare your contributions. Do you see the persistent lack of punctuation, misspellings and incomplete thoughts? No one expects perfection, but this is not a text message to a buddy.</p>
<p>Also, pierrechn, UofH Law School is $27K PER YEAR. So, you could expect to complete the required 90 hours in three years of full time attendance. The way I do the math, that’s $81K.</p>
<p>VailsMom–Wow, grad school tuition inflation has really taken its toll at UofH. A law degree from UofH is not worth $81K, IMO, considering the amount of student loans one would have to amass and the level of pay one would receive after graduation from that caliber of law school.</p>
<p>Pierrechn–Another thing to keep in mind is that you will not be entering law school for at least four more years. Even at a modest 4% tuition increase per year, the cost will likely increase to around $32,000/year, or $96K for all three years. </p>
<p>As to your fallacious reasoning that one can separate internet spelling from the “real world”, consider the sports adage, “You play like you practice.”</p>
<p>so a harvard degree is well worth the 150k it costs, i dont think so
goin to UH Law School and Working in Houston seems like a pretty good combination to me
Law firms are more likely to recruit in their City/state</p>
<p>I’ve decided the “Ignore” option really is the way to go with this person. It will keep my blood pressure from going up! “This message is hidden because … is on your ignore list.” Golden!</p>
