LGBT: Pick me a job from this list please?

Gotta fill in some horrid thing for school, it doesn’t mean anything, but for some reason they’re pressurising me to choose my future career RIGHT NOW. Pick one from here please =]

* Nanotechnology
* Astrophysics
* Atomic Physics
* Fusion Technology
* Particle Physics
* Plasma Physics
* Space Physics
“Alternative lifestyle” = particle physics?
Lawyer? You know what they say about you guys and catfish…

What’s your opinion on this?

Facts:

Nicole Kidman: Actress, studied arts and theater.
Paycheck: US$ 16-18,000,000 per movie. Considering two to three movies a year, she earns around US$ 35-55,000,000/year.

Tom Hanks: actor, studied theater.
Paycheck: US$ 20,000,000/movie. Considering two to three movies a year, he earns around US$ 40-60,000,000/year.
Note: He earned US$ 50,000,000 only for the Da Vinci Code.

Tom Cruise: actor, studied theater.
Paycheck: US$ 60,000,000/movie. Considering two to three movies a year, he earns around: US$ 120-180,000,000/year.

Oprah Winfrey: TV talk show host, studied communication.
Paycheck: US$ 260,000,000/year.

Tiger Woods: athlete, golf player.
Paycheck: US$ 3-5,000,000/year

Ronaldinho: athlete, soccer player.
Paycheck: US$ 30-50,000,000/year.

Meanwhile, teachers in highschool earn US$ 30-35,000/year.
Professors with master’s degree earn US$ 40-45,000/year
Ph.D.s earn US$ 50-100,000/year

Salaries may vary from age to age and from University/Highschool to University/Highschool.

For example, Ronaldinho never went to college and earns US$ 30-50,000,000.
A Ph.D. professor/researcher earns US$ 100,000/year after studying: Bachelor’s – 4 years, Master’s – 2 years, Doctorate – 4 years, a total of 10 years after graduating from highschool PLUS 10 years of experience.
And earns in 30 years what Tiger Woods earns in a year.
Scientists are making huge and extremely important discoveries from nanotechnology, renewable sources of energy, stem cell projects to discoveries in the Universe’s structure and origins and beyond.

What I ask you is, is it correct to some television and/or sports personalities to earn in a year what a scientist/teacher earns in a lifetime?
Why are celebrities important anyway? What do they do to improve Earth’s situation? You may quote the donations to charities and stuff, however this is something that ANYONE with enough cash would do. Even you and me can donate to a charity, of course won’t be millions, but we still did it, right?

I’m saying all that because once we live in a world ruled by capitalism, people are motivated by money ONLY, and this is why the education in some places is terrible. For example, in Brazil, the education outstandingly horrible. A highschool teacher here earns around US$ 20,000/year. A Ph.D. earns around US$ 30-40,000/year (this with 10 years of experience AND IF you get a job).
People are worried to invest only in things that will pay back a lot more than invested, for example: movies, tv, sports, propaganda etc.
Meanwhile the education sinks and violence raises. The government (not only in Brazil but in several other countries) sees education not as a profit but rather as a loss of public money.
I remenber watching an interview with a 17 years-old american girl that wanted to become a super model, and she didn’t even know the capital of her own state. In Brazil, 70% of 10-13 years-old kid wants to become a soccer player and doesn’t care to studies.

What’s your opinion on this?
XGracieX: “I think its so unfair that footballers can kick a ball 3 time a week and earn millions when a nurse is savin lifes everyday and earns nothing : (”

Absolutely, I totally forgot the nurses (I was mainly focusing on the education), you’re totally correct, even people that saves lives everyday won’t earn what a NFL footballer earn in a year.

Should I train for a new occupation?

I’ve become incredibly bored with what I currently do. It’s not a bad job, nor does it pay poorly, but I feel as though my talents are wasted and I’d like to make a better contribution to humankind. I’m leaning towards nanotechnology or genetics, as both of those fields appear to be on the cusp of producing some wondrous advances to benefit us all. Nanotech would likely be an easier route than genetics, given that I already hold an electrical engineering degree. Of course, I also have an interest in theoretical physics. Ultimately, I would like a profession that I enjoy, one that I look forward to doing everyday. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Mechnical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering?

Well I am a shopmore right now in college and i want to work on space shuttles specifically new engine propulsion methods. now my school UCF does not offer the engine propulsion track but it does offer the three majors above. I have to declare my major by the end of this summer so my question is which one of these majors makes the most sense to go into specifically where i will have the most job security, most into what i want to do, the most where i could make new ion drives, warp technology or fusion proplusion engines? I would like to also know what makes the most sense if i want to branch off and not do propulsion maybe get into nanotechnology or robotics? I and what if i want to start my own business, which one of these majors whould be the best to do this? One more thing i am in an Internship right now and its all a bunch of Electical Engineers, so i sit in front of a computer all day. now i dont really wanna do that the rest of my life id like to get off my @$$ sometimes at work
so my last though is that if i do Mechnical i wont have to deal with it so much and i can maybe go to the workshop sometimes? I mean it doesnt matter what im doing just as long as its not 100% in front of a computer all day. I just want to be working with space related stuff, sometimes i think i should even pick physics as a major. idkkk anyways any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks for the imput.

I want to major in this but I need help?

Ok, I love Math and Chemistry, so I want to major in Chemical engineering. If I major in Chemical engineering, then my school let us do one option with it. The problem is that I do not what option I should choose. If you know more about engineering and know what will help me in future, then please help me. By the way also tell me Chemical engineering is a good choice, for example, job, salary, etc.

Chemical Engineering (Biochemical Engineering) (B.S.)
Chemical Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (B.S.)
Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) (B.S.)
Chemical Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) (B.S.)
Chemical Engineering (Polymer/Materials Science) (B.S.)

Thank you for helping me.
Please expain why you think about that option that because then I will be able to make decision, regarding my own personal interest.
