Question

Answer 1

You can always become a stripper.

Answer 2

Honestly I don't know what these other people are talking about. Yes there are jobs in the military, I will be getting commissioned in the Air Force in 2 years as a Meteorologist and I will tell you that there are a lot of jobs in/out of the military. Some places to look if you don't want to go into the military as a civilian are the National Weather Service (NWS) or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). I would recommend going on their websites and looking into the job opportunities available to get an idea of what kind of job you could get. Also when you get into college and if you major in METO, then you can ask you advisor about what kind of jobs you can get in the area or with the degree you have. There is always something out there, you just need to know where to look. Good luck.

My third job out of Uni was meteorology. That was back in 1974. The previous two were a driller's labourer and a truck driver. I was a physics graduate. Now things are different. They want IT people and presentation people. If you're articulate, presentable and know how to write or broadcast, you've got a chance. Try contacting TV and radio stations. Good luck.

Why? because of the fact after taking a level in BS, you need to take grasp's, then Phd, then submit checklist, after submit checklist then it rather is the time you will be referred to as a real scientist. There are different technological know-how appropriate classes like physics, utilized physics, chemistry, biology, engineering classes, arithmetic, utilized arithmetic. those classes differs purely on their concentration, like arithmetic it will be greater on theories and proofs on an identical time as in utilized arithmetic different than for theories and proofs, purposes on numerical diagnosis, and so on is likewise being seen. once you're a mathematician you will deal greater on the analytical section yet whilst your on utilized arithmetic you deal greater on forecasting, optimizing, predicting, and so on.
