-- Posted by matthewlovelady at 10:19 am on Oct. 18, 2008 So I've been trying to figure out what I want to major in. Either Microbiology/Virology or Aerospace Engineering. Richard Prestons "The Hot Zone" and numerous other books by him made me fall in love with Virology but I don't know where a career would lie being a microbiology major. I plan on attending UT@Austin and one of my friends said I could work there in their labs or something. But what if I don't want to work there. Where would I go? My second choice is Aerospace Engineering. My uncle is very successful in his job doing that. And he didn't even get an engineering degree but one below it. Not saying that the money is everything but I think it is something I think I'd like to do as a living. If I could survive the courses lol. And my minor as random as my two Majors is, is web-design. They all kind of clash with each other but I've been doing web-design since Junior High and not to be conceited but I think I'm really good at it. I'd like to talk to a career counselor or something but I live in a small town where I doubt anything and everything I learn and hear. Thanks! -- Posted by Rollo Tomasi at 10:23 am on Oct. 18, 2008 DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO MICROBIOLOGY -- Posted by matthewlovelady at 10:24 am on Oct. 18, 2008 Quote: from Rollo Tomasi at 10:23 am on Oct. 18, 2008 DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO MICROBIOLOGY Umm... Why?... -- Posted by byebyebeautyful at 10:25 am on Oct. 18, 2008 why dont you try a class for each and see which one fasinates you?? -- Posted by matthewlovelady at 10:28 am on Oct. 18, 2008 Quote: from byebyebeautyful at 10:25 am on Oct. 18, 2008 why dont you try a class for each and see which one fasinates you?? Yeah, I guess. But I'd hate moving like 4... 5 hours away not knowing anyone and not even knowing my major... I guess I could visit first huh? Lol. Yeah I might try this.

Why?... it's an optionless and soul-draining topic that manages to suck all the fun out of science. -- Posted by matthewlovelady at 2:34 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 Quote: from Rollo Tomasi at 10:33 am on Oct. 18, 2008 Quote: from matthewlovelady at 3:24 am on Oct. 19, 2008 Quote: from Rollo Tomasi at 10:23 am on Oct. 18, 2008 DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO MICROBIOLOGY    Umm...

Well it's a Microbiology class but I guess my specialty is going to be virology... so... -- Posted by smurflikepebbles at 4:46 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 you can always double major or double minor. -- Posted by Funeral Director at 7:51 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 If you are really good at web design and you wouldn't mind doing it for a career then major in it. Otherwise then I would major in aerospace engineering. -- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 at 12:50 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 I would do virology just becuase it is really interesting.
