Replying to WHERE MY NATURAL SCIENTISTS AT?
so i'm in university and i'm trying to decide on a major before the end of the semester. my choices at the moment in order of interest are as follows: geology, astronomy, physics, math.
now i'm a transfer student but a second year technically, but i'm in mostly freshman/intro classes for geology and astronomy. i have credit from ap calc ab and bc and from ap physics b and c. math is a far off option for me as a major, but i am thinking that i might try to do a math minor. the reason for that being i have a bunch of math classes already done from my first year of school that just about exceed my requirements for the other majors, and the other being that i think calculus is sweet and i'd love to just know more math. also, i've just been told by a few people that if i have a math minor people will be like, "well fuck, this guy has a math minor so he's probably at least a little bit smart."
i am into geology and astronomy about equally right now, but leaning more towards geology. if anyone here is studying/has a degree in geology, would you mind sharing with me the sort of things you do for study/work? i basically want to be going out in the field and examining beautiful natural structures, but i am just not sure what other career choices come with this field of study.
astronomers, same to you.
if anyone else wants to add, what's your science career and how much do you get to ski per year?
TL;DR seeking college major advice about geology and astronomy mostly. what do you do if you are either of those types of scientist?
