Thanks! Well actually I should have specified which one I already knew! My bad! I know that I can go engineer, researcher, teacher. Anything else?
You can also go into finance and work as a quantitative analyst ("quant"). I heard that people with PhDs in math and physics can often find well-paying opportunities in finance/investment banking, though I'm not sure how great the work environment is.
Statistics but everything else was covered before best bet would be engineering since that is the fundamental core of what engs do.
oh well, i have to decided on this in 2 to 3 years from now, i am only in grade 10, the worst part is what if i don't get into the University i want to go to.
I majored in stats. Heaps of things you can do there. In Australia, you can work for a plethora of govt departments (e.g Burea of statistics, defence force, department of sustainability and environment), I'd imagine it's the same wherever you go. Numbers are important in working out whether policies have been effective. I've done an internship at the DSE, working out whether or not their treatment on a specific type of weed was effective using stats. That's a research based project, but a real life one. You can also work for the industry. The thing is, stats is used in many places, so majoring in it, or maths would be useful. I myself now work at for the national australia bank in the credit risk area, (risk uses a lot of maths/stats) and the work is pretty interesting. There's a branch of maths called operations research, which focuses a lot on optimization of industrial processes such as supply chain management and job scheduling and allocation. It's a growing area. For stats, there's a huge opportunity for marketing research. Essentially a company would hire you to find out what the customer wants and to develop products based on that: e.g http://interfaces.journal.informs.org/c ... ct/19/1/25 If you enjoy studying and researching maths, you could just become an academic. There's a lot of potential if you want to study maths/stats, I'd say more so than most of the other areas of science.
There's a profession for anything you learn. Just add "Teacher" or "Professor" to the end of the subject and there you have it.
yup, if you do an education degree afterwards you can be up to a highschool teacher.. and then if you want to teach at a higher level i believe you need a masters degree
there's a lot of options if you manage to excel in math or physics. Have you considered engineering? I know that in oil states like Calgary or Texas, you earn a lot of money with oil and stuff. Don't know the professional name of it though
