What is a good enteractive job if you love math and science?

Hi Xzavier,

I´d suggest : computer science

Computer Science is the science of using computers to solve problems. Mostly, this involves designing software (computer programs) and addressing fundamental scientific questions about the nature of computation but also involves many aspects of hardware and architecting the large computer systems that form the infrastructure of commercial and government enterprises. Computer scientists work in many different ways: pen-and-paper theoretical work on the foundations and fundamentals, programming work at the computer and collaborative teamwork in doing research and solving problems.

While it is true that most entry-level jobs after a Bachelor's degree involve programming, most practioners eventually graduate to other responsibilities such as design, coordination, testing, planning and management. Thus, you typically start with a software engineering job after a Bachelor's and move on (after about 5 years of experience) into higher-level positions. With advanced coursework and a Master's degree, you can work in an area of specialization that uses your advanced coursework. For example, working for an animation outfit such as Disney will require at least 2 to 3 courses in computer graphics. Finally, a PhD degree usually finds its recipient in a research environment such as a research lab, research wing of a large corporation or a university.

The core areas of computer science, including software engineering, graphics, networks, databases, multimedia and artificial intelligence remain strong today. At the same time, some of the most exciting new work in computer science is occurring at the intersection between computer science and other fields. For example, computer science is changing the way biological research is conducted in fundamental ways, leading to a new field called bioinformatics at the intersection of biology and computer science. Similarly, computer simulations are making it possible to study problems in physics, chemistry, economics and geology that were difficult without computers.

Have a good choice!

Maybe try astronomy or astrophysics. If not particularly into those, maybe physics itself, or space physics in particular. If you ever get into music, maybe try acoustics, or you could take electrical engineering, and then learn about acoustics, too, and then maybe design and build audio equipment. I think that would be loads of fun. Above all, though, just do something that makes you happy. Life is nothing if you're not happy. Never let anybody else tell you what to do. You know deep down what will make you happy or unhappy. Life pretty much sucks eggs if you're not happy. Take it from someone who knows.
