I'm not sure where bachelor of science will lead me...so i would like to see where you might be headed, or see yourself heading in the future. Thus: do you have any plans for a major yet? Any hopes of dream job? Or perhaps, do you want a job in a field that is NOT science related?
I've had an epiphany that i want to be a marketing/ art director..or something like that...and no clue whether science can lead there :P lol...but, hey, i can hope?
i like the life sciences, namely, microbiology, physiology and human structure and function...but there's not much i can do with those except go into health sciences in the future...
How about you?

Hi!!!! =D
I will be completing a Neuroscience major in 3rd Year. After my degree, I intend on applying and hopefully getting into a postgraduate Medicine course. I've experimented alot with breadths in the past to see if there has been any other potential pathways that I would like to pursue (ie Music, Marketing, Management). Now that I'm in third year I still am passionate about the Life Sciences and I really do enjoy it. I hope that by the end of this year, all my hard work will pay off and I'll be where I want to be =)
-
I guess mine would be something brain related
i dont know though
-
Third year for me this year, major is anatomy (human structure and function). Right now I'm quite set on life sciences in the future, and hope to successfully apply to postgraduate medicine next year as well :)
-
The plan is to do a Civil Systems major and then do a Master of Civil Engineering.
Then one day I will make a bridge and you will all use it and you will all thank me.
-
would it be stupid to want to major in microbiology or human structure and function or physiology...but still pursue marketing...IN FACT...is it pOSSIBLE? o.O i'm pretty sure employers want you to know your marketing? :p

Of course. You have 6 breadth subjects at your disposal. Complete a marketing breadth track.

I'm a computer science student now, do I count? I want to enter computational geospatial science. Gonna major at Monash in Geology, 'cause apparently I can do that.

NO! Get outta here! LOL
-
Medicine after, but if not I would probably be thinking about engineering.
-
Possible majors I'm considering areeee
Physics
Chemistry
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Cell and Developmental Biology
Genetics
Neuroscience
Pharmacology
Human Structure and Function
Microbiology, Infection and Immunology
Pathology
Physiology
And then after either MD, JD or MEng... Wouldn't rule out research though.
yeahhh.... I'm pretty indecisive
-
I'm looking at a major in Mechanical Systems, and then a Masters in Mechanical Engineering.
That is, if I can figure out how to use this subject selection thing...

...I will one day design a car and you will all drive it over SDPHD's bridge and praise the ride quality and maybe thank me too :P
-
Good thing about BSc is that you can have a lot of variety in your subjects, and can have a "taste" of a wide variety of fields.
For example in my second year I did one or more subjects in biochemistry and molecular biology, pharmacology, anatomy, physiology and pathology. Could've easily done microbiology and immunology instead of a second physiology subject. Covered physics and chemistry in my first year, and I'm doing neuroscience in my first semester of third year.

Bsc Graduates will change the world :)
IF they know what they want to do! BSc grads without a clue will just waste a valuable spot in uni for someone with a direction, me thinks! :(

I want to major in Chemistry :)

It's a very popular course so hopefully everyone knows where they want to go!
BSc represent! ;)
-
Probably maths and statistics
afterwards I'd like to get into the MD, but I'm also thinking of a Masters in Commerce, JD or a Masters in Science
also, did anyone else choose Science over biomed despite having an ATAR above the clearly-in?
-

I always had science as my top preference, even though I could've done biomed.

any particular reason why mark?
-
yeah same, the only thing I would want out of all the things Biomedicine sets you up for is Medicine, and that's only for the UoM MD, and I could do that with the Science course anyway. At least with Science, if I decide Medicine isn't for me, or if I don't get a position in a med school, I can always fall back on some of my other interests.
-
wth Science subjects cost $565 but commerce subjects cost $1178 ???

It's because not enough people are doing science subjects, so the government is subsidising their cost in order to encourage more people to do them.
-
Hasn't the government dropped maths and science off the national priority list for 2013? Means science subjects will cost just over $1000 next year too.
-

I was always interested in the physical and mathematical sciences, not in doing medicine.

noooooooooo! is there any validity to this?
-
Band 2 student contribution reinstated for maths and science
The estimated maximum HECS contribution for students enrolled in these units will be $8,353 in 2013. The estimated National Priority rate is $4,691 in 2013.
Students who commence their course between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2012 will not be affected by this change and will continue to pay a reduced student contribution amount until 31 December 2015.
Class of 2011 is lucky :)
-
Pharmacology, physiology and bits of evolutionary biology and philosophy on the side.
Hopefully i get into postgrad med. Research looks nice and its a nice thought but for all the extra work and time of a PhD a lot of people think it isn't really worth it, the monetary compensation anyway..
I (and some others) discussed that idea here - A career in academia? .
If not with a major like pharmacology i could probably break into private industry (assuming the nay-sayers on whirlpool are wrong and that there are actually jobs available but those guys are insanely negative). So, i'd be better off than a lot of other majors people choose.
Pimping is looking pretty damn good though..
-
Would i be stupid if i said: major in something biology related..like microbiology, infection and immunology, human structure and function, or neuroscience, or major in civil systems...
then meander a little after graduation...
and then jump into diploma of advertising at RMIT? lol....only when i've failed at advertising, or so seriously in need of cash that im begging the streets, i will go and do engineering...
SIGH. i dnt WANT a science job at all! at least...not now...i might find a passion whilst im at uni...but meh...chances are slim :P

I found my passion for vet sci after my first year at uni. So I transfer to University of queensland vet :)
A lot changes every year, you can only find something you like if you experience a little bit of it.
-
Maths and Stats, specialising in Discrete Maths & Operations Research.
After that, my plans for the future is to be awesome.
Hot Chick: So what do you do at uni?
Me: I'm a maths student.
Hot Chick: Please excuse me while I take off all my clothes.
-
Favouring Atmosphere and Ocean Sciences, but not certain weather I'll do that or Physics. Initially was considering Elec. Eng but I've gone off that...
edit: I also declined to do Biomed. Definitely happy enough with my choice :)

I'm sure you would have had similar experiences. ;) And now that you're doing MD, that should "broaden your horizons". :P
-
Probably something in life sciences :D

lol my brother's doing structural engineering and he always says that we'll all thank him for making sure stuff doesn't fall down.

nice pun lol....
