Should I major in engineering, physics, or architecture?
Hi. I'm currently a junior in high school. I've been debating back and forth on what I should major in. For years, I've been particularly interested in architecture. I love drawing plans as well as using the computer to do so. I am a reasonably good, creative artist and am also good at math and science. However, the past year, I've been extremely interested in astronomy and cosmology and physics. I've always had an interest in astronomy, but have not until recently considered it as a major. That being said, I also like aeronautical and astronautical engineering for the fact that I could design spacecraft to further explore the things I observe and study. I love studying physics. I find it truly fascinating. My interest in physics began when watching movies such as Back to the Future (time travel), Contact (Wormholes), and the recent Star Trek movie. Physics basically strives to tell how the world works, and tells fascinating possibilities of our universe, such as such topics as time travel, wormholes, etc. In any case, I want a career that allows me to design and create things rather than just experimenting and calculating in a lab or university. I don't want to teach at all. What is your personal preference? Which one(s) do you suggest? Thanks.
