Need help for my career

[Al Moh.]

Alright guys, before I came to this site I was sure I would go the my local technical university and become a mechanical engineer or a mechatronical one but because of pooks posts about dreams and the freedom path etc I looked deep inside of me and discovered my adventurous side. I'd still like to become and engineer because I lovve math and physics but I feel like nature is calling me. I am thinking of eather doing research on space rockets or going on a research ship and do deep sea research. Something a little more exciting^^

Now, I don't really know what to study excactly anymore. Anyone with experiences doing scientific research here? I would like to get some help.

What about Nuclear Energy?

Ocean research

Your office is an open sea !!!

Exotic places, beaches and bikinis...

Spend hours looking at microscope...

Engineering is a good field for this as if you're good, you have a lot of open options.

Heh, when you get your own business running, a possible idea.

I always thought it would be really cool to have an underwater hotel.

Going to engineering school does not only give you knowledge in engineering, but also advances your competence in applying methods to complex problems in order to solve them. Thus, your degree can be used for lots of things, I think wutangfinancial once said that some guys with engineering background do financial work due to the advanced math necessary to solve these problems.

So, unless you are planning on getting a degree in Biology to do deep sea research on undiscovered beings (does not seem to be the case as you said math and physics), I would recommend studying an engineering science.

Nuclear science and tech are offered at some universities as graduate studies, and deep sea submarines have to be designed by engineers

You will need a long time however to actually get to do cool stuff, as you have to complete a master's degree at least (better a PhD), be good, and build a reputation for yourself as a research scientist.
