Post your degree/field of study/specialization and other people critique it's usefulness.
I'll start,
>Forestry, Wildland Fire Management

Don't adaptive renewal cycles take care of themselves?
Forestry isn't forestey enough for me :^)
ecology and evolution

>Don't adaptive renewal cycles take care of themselves?
yes but it generally interferes with folk who prefer to not be toasty

>>Forestry isn't forestey enough for me :^)
>not using an industrial drone equipped with a gopro to do all the field work for you
lamo i bet you use a calculator too

Also It's a good major. Very useful with the rapid increase of arid lands and exterme weather and the especially unfortunate loss of forests.
Also a genuinely cool thing to study

yeah its great and the market is only expanding because so many people are retiring. similar to people working in nuke plants, had a ton of them come around undergrad courses trying to get people to study nuke chem since they were gonna be collecting a pension in 2 years and they had literally zero applicants for most of the year

>r u a park ranger
no a park ranger is part of the police department whose jurisdiction is that of federal/state lands, they do not have any formal training or are required to have a degree of any kind. it's mostly just a cushy job for somebody who has been on the force for over a decade or is the son of a police chief, etc.
>oh cool i always wanted to be a park ranger haha

Aeronautical Science (major) and Applied Meteorology (minor).

Basically feeds into an airline pilot job. Through the school I obtain a commercial multi engine certificate w/instrument rating at a minimum.

I'm taking biochemistry, mostly trying to get into some form of cancer research but I'm not totally sold on that idea yet.

How is job availability with airline pilots?
Sounds interesting really.

Artificial intelligence.

how do planes fly
people tell me the wings generate lift because the air travels faster over the top or some shit, yet planes can fly upside down which completely obliterates that theory

They say there is a shortage of airline pilots due to a large portion of the workforce hitting retirement limits, but I'll believe that when I'm in the right seat of a CRJ or whatever.

As far as the degree program goes it's great. I get a bit of everything; math, physics, humanities and business, and lots of aviation-specific classes (systems, aerodynamics and performance, turbine engines, FAA ground schools, etc).

Wings generate lift due to a couple properties, mainly conservation of momentum and aerodynamic circulation. Basically speaking, the air is accelerated over the top of the wing (the side with more curve) and remains a relatively lower speed on the bottom, and this creates a pressure disparity, imparting a force upon the wing roughly perpendicular to the relative wind. Aerodynamic circulation causes air to rotate about the aerodynamic center of the wing, and explains in part the flow about the airfoil. In reality it's a combination of these two properties, but in the end it is still the 'theory' of lift. Airfoils only see two things: dynamic pressure (airspeed) and angle of attack, so it doesn't matter if you're facing up, down, or sideways.

Marine Transportation

Leads into being a merchant marine navigational watch officer in the United States. After graduation we're proficient in all kinds of marine navigation like celestial, inland piloting, meridional, plane etc

oh cool i always wanted to be a park ranger haha

>Forestry, Wildland Fire Management
It's pretty good if there are people to stop shit from burning to the ground, but do you really need a degee for that?

>neuroscience

Is it a meme field of study? I'm really interested in it especially the quantum physics side of things.

>Is it a meme field of study?
No not really.
>the quantum physics side of things
wat

besides in the retina there really isn't any quantum physics side of things

Looks to me like you fell for the popsci bullshit saying that the brain is a quantum computer. It's an electrochemical system that works with a series of chemical-passing connections that are made stronger or weaker depending on how much those particular connections are used, not the direct passing of phonons, photons, or electrons through a network of atomic arrangements.

The correct board is This is "Veeky Forums - Science & Math" kid.

Renewable Systems & Agroecology

Basically how to keep counter-act the damage Republicans are doing to the Earth.

I do renewable energy geotechnical solutions here in Florida. It's a fun job with a a different outlook everyday.

Biochemistry

>pure math
Literally no flaws

>implying Republicans are harming the Earth

forestry is a science, sissy
*teleports behind u*
*plants a tree then cuts it down*
heh, nuthin personnell kiddo

most of it is either making sure that stuff wont burn down, maximizing the amount of trees in an area for logging, or calculating the amount of calories to eat to have enough energy to keep the hordes of young tight women off of you while you work

B.Sc. Biochemistry
M.Sc Inorganic Chemistry
Working on PhD

Field of study: electrochemical materials

I synthesize electrolytes for lithium ion and multivalent ion batteries and test them through a variety of electrochemical characterization methods. I build full cells out them and test them as batteries as well. I hope to make and test cathode materials as well before I graduate.

B.S. Biology, currently working in forensics.

Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics

isn't most of it just a straightforward application of Newton's laws?

You have a parcel of air hitting an inclined surface, and gets pushed downward, while the plane gets pushed up.

Geology. Graduate in August. I plan on going in to Planetary Geology next year.

Physics and Planetary science.

i have literally no idea what I'm going to grad school for after or any idea what kind of job I could get.

i'm leaning towards a computational physics masters because I feel like I could probably at least get a job with that if academia doesn't go well.

Forestry is an industry*
Ftfy
Forests can take care of themselves
Planted forests aren't forests

Holy shit I was just hoping someone would say agroecology
Literally the most useful major, I'll be asking you for means of production one day, can I blow you?
they aren't doing it as much as the let it happen, litterally the most dangerous collective in the history of humanity and everyone consents to it.

B.S. MechEng
M.S. Aerospace Eng
Focus is on dynamical systems & control

MD
want to do anaesthesiology and intensive care

neuroscience is really cool to read about but as a job... it seems like hours and hours of boring lab work

A reactionary force is generated at positive AoA, yes, but that isn't the reason for lift. A high camber non-symmetrical (curved on top, flatter on bottom) airfoil will produce lift even at 0° angle of attack

Physics/Condensed Matter Theory
Quantum vortices in Superfluid He-3

Food science with a concentration in food chemistry (im pretty much a grape chemist)

can u sinthescise me a grape please
what is the nature of a grape also

pls go into business and make grape ice cream

No i work with wine polyphenols, among other things

Mathematics, concentrated in the mathematics of information, and computer science.

>Be PLC control technician with heavy industrial automation direction

average pay for a 20 y/o kid; lots of new shit to learn, but atleast i get payed for learning new shit

>
I've always wondered what it's like to work in neuroscience, is it anything like the movies show where you're in some high-tech lab staring at brain scans?

Physics

You're all fucking pathetic brainlets (pure math included)

dont you fag up every thread even remotly related to fields with your canadian forestry bullshit, hope a bear eats you desu

Bout to start my first job as a maintenance tech at a steel plant. What's your pay / benefits like?
>AAS Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology

Trying to figure out what to study next. Job will pay for 100%, so thinking of Software Eng. or Mathematics online.

interesting, I hope your research proves fruitful

How is the job availability?

Mech E. I work a semi-conductor manufacturer maintaining the climate control systems for the factory floor. glorified HVAC guy i guess.

everything is nice and clean. very methodical work. comfy as hell imo and damn good money.

Molecular genetics and a minor in bioinformatics

meat science
isn't natural intelligence better?

Computer security

Is that through the business school (as something like a computer information systems (IT) program), or computer science department?

Civil Engineering Major - Structures emphasis
Math Minor

Eventually I want to teach in academia. Am I doing things right, /sci?

yep. don't let these guys tell you otherwise. getting an engineering degree for your undergrad is career insurance in case the academia thing doesn't pan out.

do your masters/PhD in something other than engineering though.

Thanks, user. what are the up-and-coming fields in math currently? I hear partial diffe-qs are "the next thing"

Yea, if youre gay...

But, on /out/ we have tons of forestry threads and people who are in the biz and studying.

>I've always wondered what it's like to work in neuroscience, is it anything like the movies show where you're in some high-tech lab staring at brain scans?
It's not nearly as glamorous as in the movies. 80% of the time it's sitting behind a computer, coding analyses or writing.

>staring at brain scans
Kinda, but not staring at raw structural data but rather statistical parametric maps of group-data.

Faggot.... but seriously

general medicine

computer science department

Physics

Now spend my time working with plasma spray processes.

Electrical engineering

meteorology

pic related

>Mechanical engineering
I specialize in Pressure Vessels.

No, I don't work at JPL.

I love meteorology, specifically radar and satellite imagery interpretation. Very happy with my choice to go for a minor in it

Pic related, GOES-16 first visible imagery

electro-mechanical engineering specialised in mechanical energy engineering

>undergrad: math + computer science
>grad: mathematical finance
berate me, s-senpai

holy shit. thank you for this post user. genuinely.

either
>machine learning drone that'll probably just end up continuing work on deep learning to make the next meme "learning" software
or
>actually interesting but very soft linguistics / psyconeurology fag
either way ew

in for the shekels/10

One of those applied sciences that a true Veeky Forumsentist will say has no relevance in their life, but then when you leave the closed circle of academia you realize that it's super useful in terms of real world application.
Cool as fuck, but be warned about commercial airlines; the field isn't nearly as good to work for as it was 20 years ago.
I was doing biochem at first, then I realized that chem is a lot more fun (if harder) than biology in my opinion. Won't knock too hard on it though.
Just say CS. You're a code monkey plain and simple.
You go to King's Point? I don't know how the civilian/private market is with that but if it's like the military academies (which I'm led to believe it is to some degree) then that's good job security.
Good luck. That's a labor market that we need to care more about.
>I'm a chemist who likes money
You're gonna go far, kid.
Hey, bud, you may want to work industry a few years before you hop into graduate school. If nothing else, you'll appreciate what it's like to not be in academia as well. Your career though, so take Veeky Forums advice for what it is.
>minor in bioinformatics
Literally the only way to be useful with biology unless you finish a PhD or MD program.

Anyway for me...
>Chemistry undergrad with MatSci emphasis
Trying to work in 3D printing/polymers industry. If things don't pan out the way I want, I'm going to go back to school, even if it means another undergraduate degree before I can look at grad schools.

Marine Engineering, specifically an engineering officer on a ship.

Really hands on, you only work half the year, travel the world, pays a lot due to required overtime (6 figs for entry level officer), and lots of knowledge required to run and maintain the mechanical, electrical, and computer systems aboard a vessel.

The main downside that it's pretty dangerous, lots of crazy people out at sea, you see the same 20 people everyday for months, heavy machinery and rough waters do not mix.

you goddamn know it lad

you goddamn kike

kike in training*

Sounds pretty fun to me, but that would probably really suck for a married dude.

Nuclear engineering, I still have another year to go before I can start the program though.

How do you even do grad school in something that isn't your field (like non engineering when you did engineering in undergrad)?

Math - Combinatorics and Number Theory

>invertebrate paleontology

Mechatronics Engineering, work as a Systems Engineer for a major (regional) medical devices company because I can do e v e r y t h i ng

control eng. and robotics at mechanical faculty

Aerodynamicist here

Lift is generated by classical mechanics. Either the lifting surface is at incidence or is curved, which accelerates incident flow in the opposite direction to the lifting force, which is a consequence of Newton's third law.

Every other explanation is a meme. Pressure occurs as a result of lift not the other way around.

I'm going for B.Sc in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
M.Sc In Materials Science or MAYBE shoot for a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics if all goes well
I originally was a physics major but was basically guilt tripped into engineering by my family.

IE + CS + MBA


I'm doing pretty good

every john doe probably doesn't know about fireballs from top of trees, fire spreading beneath the ground, how fast stuff spreads, maps

by having the requisite background knowledge and getting accepted
for example, a math major could reasonably be expected to go into an Economics PhD program if he takes enough economics and finance courses while earning his math bachelors
It's harder making the transition out of engineering though because most other fields that are related to engineering are much more theoretical and there's almost no way you could have the requisite background knowledge (eg for math or physics) without having at least a minor in that field, but preferably a double major

it all depends on what field you decide you want to transition to though
if you're just looking to earn a Masters it becomes easier, and if you're looking at a technical/professional masters like Financial Engineering then it becomes even easier as many of the requirements are relaxed

>Geoscience
>Geographic Information Systems

I go out in the field, take samples, analyse them and then make maps.

He's an engineer AND a sailor.

Women are the furthest thing from his mind.
