when i grow up, im thinking about to be a chemist, do you think thats a good choice? well im not really good in math (B) but im (A) in science. What do you think? Im just in 7th grade

Whatever you want to do go for for it having a career is very impotrant cause anywhere u move there is a job for you plus you would make good money definetly pick a job that you want to do so that you will want o go to it. DEfinetly pick a job that will always be around and hopefully will help others and be around no matter what the worlds times are going through

I was a biology major (unofficially) my freshman year, and I got a GOOD taste of what it is like. I can tell you right now the hardest class for most people is organic chemistry. It was hard for me, and I had no trouble in calculus, 300 level (for juniors) biology classes, and I absolutely aced the general chem classes. You have to memorize a ton of material, AND understand the concepts inside out. Actually, organic wasn't that bad, but I dropped it mid-semester because after reading 300 pages of chemical structures and reactions, I was bored to the point of insanity, and we all know it is hard to do well in something if you're bored. I did have a bad teacher too though.The biology classes seem like more memorization than anything else, so if you have a good memory like me, you should do well in them, but of course you need a basic understanding of chemistry to do well in biology. As always though, if you are truly interested in the subject (I don't think I was), you can succeed.

If you're good in the social sciences and may have some little math prowess, better take up economics. But I tell you, it would be best if you make a checklist of all your strengths and weaknesses and ask someone, maybe your guidance counselor to assess what probable career option to choose.

Dont worry. Alot of people have trouble in science. If you are not getting into science then just do it as a sake of school and then you can forget about it. Dont listen to the guy who went on and on about your other problems but left the real one untouched. Ur spelling is alright.  (According to the other guy I spelt "your" as "ur"...omg i have a big problem,  i cant get in college)LOL

What you have chosen sounds good.  In the overall scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal what else you choose since you are only in 11th grade.  Just make sure you continue with sciences and continue to do very well in them.  Universities look at how well you do in your courses, not so much at which courses you do, as long as you have the required ones.  And you have the required ones if you have the math, the sciences, and English.  The only ones I would recommend are a psychology course and/or a statistics course if they are available to you in high school.\n\nGoodm luck with your future plans.

I don't think there is anything specific you would need in high school as long as you take all the general classes like math science english with whatever electives.  It's only when you're in college do the courses really matter. High school only preps you for stuff. Regardless of whether you take bio or not, you're still gonna need college level bio, anatomy, kinesiology, organic chem, etc.  Even with advanced classes in high school you can't bypass those classes. At best you can skip like the general bio/chem but that's after you take AP classes.  In order to decide your interest, the BEST way to figure out whether you would like something or not is to volunteer. TRUST ME because it will save a lot of wasted time in college taking classes you won't want.  I spent about 2.5 years taking advanced chem/bio/physics thinking I wanted to be in the sciences to have it all go to waste. I wish I spent more time exploring different careers in high school to at least determine what I didn't like.  Picking a career is tough and only the rare few will find the things they truly love and enjoy.  GOOD LUCK!

that would be like saying 'I want to be a carpenter but i hate wood.'\n\nsince chemistry is a study of the elements, we, and everything around us is MADE of said elements.  if you want to learn about the world around you, start with the building blocks

As an undergrad I was an English major for three years before switching to Chemistry.  I had to start all over (unfortunately, none of my Shakespeare transferred).  It wasn't easy, but it wasn't any harder than analyzing poetry to the professor's satisfaction.  But honestly, any person with brains can get any degree they want.  You are, however, going to have to prove your worth as an analytical thinker to the college that will accept you into their science program.  Try to get the calculus, physics, and intermediate geography/meteorology done before applying- possibly at a community college.  You could always go talk to faculty at the college you want to apply to and see which classes would transfer from where, which classes you would need, or if you can just directly apply to their program.  Hopefully you will do well in those classes you need, and along with your probably stellar standardized test scores should open the doors to any program you want to enter.

Couldn't tell from your question if you're a definite on going to med school or not. If you are, then concentrate on the bio -easier for your GPA and you won't use anything from undergrad anyways. But, since you're good at math and chem, you might think about research. You can work toward being a biochemist. Plenty of opportunities in research hospitals. Maybe try some undergrad research and see how you like being in the lab. You won't find that out from the course labs. I'm sure the course curriculum between the two double majors is similar so don't worry about it right now. Get through the introductory courses and decide then. You won't start figuring out what you like until later anyways. Keep your GPA up and things will fall in to place.

hey, well, i'm in eighth grade and i've seen a lot of great projects...is it just a project on anything scientific or is it in a certain area (physics, chemistry, etc)?\n\n\nfeel free to e-mail me\n\ncaty_rocks_ur_sox@yahoo.com

Do something that you like, or you will be misrable.  Do NOT do what your parents think you would like or be good at.  They screwed me even years after high school w/ that one!

If you want to make the article more interesting, ask something about before she was a math teacher. Before college even. What she originally wanted to be when she was young, and what led to this career choice. Or ask if she has a personal motto for herself.

Get a four year bachelors degree in chemistry.3 more years past college.Good pay.Lots of responsibility

I can't help you with your chemistry, but once you get into the labs it will be mmore intersting.\n\nA degree in general science will get you teaching jobs.  Take a course in teaching methods and get your teaching certificate and you'll be able to teach middle school science and lower level high school science.

Science - I had fun with the experiments especially in year 9 where we get to test the chemicals using flame colours.  It was really cool :)

Yes, actually  I do like school, I love to learn. I want to be a journalist when I get older so I love English and I also want to be a doctor so, Science is pretty fun too.

Molly has a good point.\n\nWhich one do you really like?\nIf you like them both, then you are as same as me.\n\nLet's see...\nElectric engineering. Sounds cool, do you think not?\nYou get to make cool electrical stuffs such as fridges, irons, air conditioners, lamps and others which are beneficial to humans, am I right?\n\nSocial Science?\nIt is more general and less complex than Pure Science I presume.\nHowever, it is still cool and beneficial.\n\nIn order to learn Electric Engineering, you must study Additional Maths, Chemistry, Physics and two more other things, right?\n\nAdditional Maths, Chemistry, and Physics?\nWOW!\nAren't they super-cool?\n\nHow about Social Science's subjects?\nChemistry, Biology, Additional Maths and EST?\nThe fun is getting better!\n\nWhich one should you choose?\nBoth of them sound interesting to me.\nHow about take them both?\nJust kidding.\nTo me, they look the same and related.\nWhich means it is good if you master them both.\n\nI assume I am not making sense here, right?\n\nIt all depends on your enthusiasm rather your ability.\nChoose what you really want, not choose what you think is easier.\n\nAlthough Electric Engineering might sound easier for you because of the absence of Biology which you must remember scientific names for the subjects in it.\nBut if you really like Biology, then remembering scientific names is a snap for you.\n\nRemember,\n"Enthusiasm tops over ability".\n\n\nAh, yes. Future jobs.\nFor EE, you can apply as an Electric Engineer in companies like Phillips, Sony, Braun and others.\nFor SS, you can work as an anthropologist or physiologist or others.\n\n\nDo consider rechecks, I am typing without references so mistakes must occur.\nGood luck for you!
