Read about classical physics. Astronmy which is the physics of heavenly bodies. \nYour interest will grow if you can see how these folks view the world around them. Such as the earth is not the center of the universe as once believed.\n\nPhysics can be enjoyed at all levels when someone has a interest to learn. Try teaching 5 year old about the things around them. Their questions will inspire you to learn for yourself.\n\nCheck out the following link:\n\nGoodluck!

1. Graduate. Grit and bear through it, you cant change such in the last one year and you dont want to throw out 3 years worth of work. \n\n2. Find something enjoyable to do for that one year. take a fun course. pottery or photography or differential mathematics, if you like that kind of thing.\n\n3. Your school might have a psychological or counselling service for free. contact them, they can really help\n\n4. The best thing to do once you graduate with a science major when you are throughly confused is go join the peace corps or something like that for a year. go to underpriviledged countries and teach physics or chemistry. see the world, learn how other people survive. It will make u a better person, it will give you enough time to think about what you want to do with the rest of your life. it will give you a chance to give back to the world, for all it gave to you, It will give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.\n\nPoint 4 is just an idea and not necessarily sound advice, talk to your counsellor first

You need to be good at your studies that's for sure.In particular at mathematics.When you graduate from your school you can study aerospace engineering at engineering college.A lot of engineering schools offer it in Australia.That's one of the ways.Or you can study physics and follow up with a post graduate degree with specialization in Astronomy.It is important to understand that only astronomers don't become astronauts.People from military,\nbiologists,\nchemists,\nphysicists,\nengineers,\nmeteorologists,\ngeologists\n all have been to space.The environment in space is particularly suitable for ceratin experiments and is important to many branches of science.\nSo studying astronomy is one of the ways and not the only way.

Look over the course catalog and take whatever classes sound interesting.  If nothing in the course catalog sounds interesting, perhaps you should give some serious thought to your motivations for attending college.  \n\nIf you just want a higher paying job, it's not a very good investment.  While it is the case that the average earnings of college graduates are higher than those of non-college graduates, the average increase in lifetime earnings is approxiately equal to the average cost of four years of college tuition.\n\nIf, on the other hand, you actually want to learn, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding classes that sound interesting.  At this point, if you don't know what you want to major in, don't worry about how the classes you take will work with your major.  Chances are that whatever you decide to major in will be consistent with what you find intersting.  And if you take a bunch of English and history classes this year, and then decide you want to major in physics, it will still work.

Janice, not only one nationality uses this yahoo question/answers. So you have to give more info about your country, city etc. How can a student from another country help you?\n\nPlease accommodate us with more details. we will see whether we can help.

You are short of a degree that will let you do anything.  You need to posess a degree almost specificially to your feild to get most jobs.  Also you say that you don't like competition?  Your gonna have a really hard time having a comfortable life in science because everyone is cut throat and will do just about anything to get ahead of you and make themselves.

I went through the same thing myself...I would suggest getting a tutor. I think some schools offer tutoring services for free...you might want to check with your schools learning center or the chem/physics department. My college allowed people needing help to sign up for tutors and the school paid the tutors to help students out for an hour a week. If this kind of service isn't available, you could try getting a tutor on your own. I think in the case of orgo, its really best to have someone there to talk through concepts and reactions to make sure you're really understanding it. Books that try to dumb things down just dont help because they can't tell you if youre actually understanding things correctly. Good luck!

"what" should be What \nbeast way? Do you mean "best" way?\n"going" should be go\nto another\n"conutery" should be country\n"studing" should be studying\n"in other" should be another\n"fild" should be field\n"I now" should be I am now\n"studing" should be studying\nin an university\n".?" should be just ?\n\nRephrase: What is the best way for me to go to another country for studying another field? I am now studying in an university.\n\nTry spell check next time. It works wonders.

Hey dina,\n  this confusion prevails in 95% of cases joining for the bachelors course in engineering.\n  Try to analyse ur self n find  ur interest first. as u CANNOT get going with a non-interested subject..that would lead to a falling of  grades.\n  Coming to jobs ..i suggest not to worry at this stage. since ur concepts and foothold in ur subject are most required. I also recommend strongly not to be carried away by ur friends/neighbours etc choices. \n To my knowlegde...Mech & Manf are evergreen subjects and Electr & Instr is booming. Each subj has its own speciality.\n wish u all the best for ur career lauch pad\nregards,

Hi there. Bro, I was studying electrical engineering for 5 years (just about to graduate) and I switched to Information Systems because I realized that I dislike engineering. Everyone is encouraging me to end up my engineering degree, but I will not do it 'cause I don't like it! So...\n\nI'm telling you my story so you can focus on what you really want. I think that you are more oriented to electrica/mecanical engineering than to nuclear/chemical/physics engineering. You can do a great exercise, and is to see yourself in the future, how would you like to see yourself in about 15 - 25 years from today.\n\nIf you are a good student you'll find financial help everywhere, so money might not be a problem for your decision making. You have no problem with language (if it was your case that you were moving to a foreign country to get your degree). I don't find any other issue bro, just a self decision of what you will like to do in the future and what do not.\n\nGood luck pal.

You are very lucky to have such broad interests. They will help you enjoy your studies no matter what your major is. The best way I know to choose a major is start taking classes. No matter what major you choose or what college you attend you will need to take general education classes. You will need maths, science, social sciences, history, English, probably a foreign language, etc. Once you start taking these introductory courses you will learn more about that field of study. If something appeals to you take an upper level course in that subject. Also visit your college's career center. They will have assessments that you can take to help you discover what careers are best suited for your interests. They should also have resources there that will allow you to see what careers are expected to have openings and what to expect. Finally, volunteer and/or do an internship. The best way to learn about a career is to try it out. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, meet people in the field, and find out what you are good at. Good luck to you.

Perhaps you should change your major to a related field, one that doesn't require heavy math/science ability.\n\nTalk to a school advisor.  That's what they are there for.

here's what I want to know:  is there anything you enjoy about physics?\n\nI know that's an odd question, but here's why I'm asking:  if you approach your studies as an opportunity to learn something new, it'll become less of a chore and a memorization thing. Concentrate on learning concepts rather than facts and formulas. \n\nIn high school you're taught to regurgitate information. In college it's usually (hopefully) different. Most professors want to broaden your mind, and that's not going to happen if you're just spitting out facts and figures. \n\nThe best way to stop worrying is to enjoy the process. Really.\n\nI'd recommend going to the prof and asking him what you're doing wrong--tell him you really want to succeed in his class.  (you may be surprised by his response, hopefully in a positive way)

You need to take as many science courses as you can...\nMath is also a necessity

the best thing i found whe i studied physics was to memorize the formulas.  make flash cards and study those.  once you have the formulas down..start plugging the numbers in.

Engineering is a bad choice if you are struggling with physics. A weakness in Physics is often a signal of poor mathematical skills which are essential for an engineer.
