Physics is the bomb! Electricity and electric circuits and investigating motion and energy I always found quite interesting. I never found astronomy quite as intriguing though.

Chemistry is also pretty awesome too (I'm such a nerd oh my god), my aspect would probably be carbon chemistry (ESTERS!!!) or investigating DNA and its structure (nucleotides - bases, sugars, phosphate etc.) I also don't mind performing titrations which can be a rather tedious task for some and completing mole calculations. Ooh, you can't forget about enzymes and amino acids and acid-base reactions and redox reactions and asdfjgogooskihgj! ♥

Oh, that's so cute ~

Think you're a big boy now eh? Pfft, you're nothing. Wait till you get to university and you have to do page + long proofs and questions that take pages to complete. Just you wait, you little whipper-snapper you.

I'm in University, actually. And I am aware that this is just the start of my endeavors for dreaded electromagnetism (My friend took the same course last semester so I know about how complex problems can be) and I've seen worse from different courses.

As for science in general, I actually didn't have much problem with biology. Chemistry on the other hand, after I took the course in high school it was more than obvious it wasn't for me, at all.
 
Math just gives me a headache, especially Algebra , (advanced) Geometry and Trig. @-@ I'm glad I never have psychics in school.

I'm glad to say that I'll never have to deal with another Physics or Chem problem for the rest of my life! The course I'm studying now, which is Psychology, has taken me far away from all that and I am happy. :D

Amanda, you've just solidified my decision to pursue a Psych major. <3
 
I personally think that physics is really interesting. That and medical-related stuff are the only things that I would read about/study just for that reason haha.

...Although people do seem to that think it's a little odd when they notice that I'm sitting somewhere with a large book on mental disorders. Sure, most of that information will potentially be of no use to me, but it's still interesting. {:
 
Im more interested in programmin stuff, thats why im studying IT atm in college, and i managed to make the worst thing ever... a loading screen xD
 
Hahaha, so you can often be found reading a casebook of head cases, Jess? X}

I always prefered languages. English, French, Spanish (Meh. . .), some asian languages, etcetera. . . Math of any kind was okay, but so damn dull!
And, if studying something just because you honestly want to know more about it makes you one, then yes, yes, I'm a nerd

Edit: Dipu, you just made me realise how little I know in the field of Marine Bio. . .
 
IT is amaaaaaaazing. My degree only requires at least college algebra, and I'm taking college algebra right now, so I'm pretty much satisfied that after this I no longer have to take any math classes anymore after this. My minoring for English is set aside for now as I didn't have any room for my sophomore classes, hopefully next semester. :)
 
Computer Science is kind of just another facet of math so... yeah, there's lots of math involved.

What is IT though? I admit I've never really looked into it. I imagine it has to be pretty different if its basis isn't as strongly in math. Is it more programming than theory?
 
I'm curious as to what people think IT encompasses, as someone who can say I'm an IT professional (or, rather, IS professional, which more closely matches my official title). I do deal more with hardware than software, but I'm expected by the end users I support to know everything and anything related to the computers. Not so much the phones, but that will probably change the longer I work for my employer.

I know a lot of people that think IT encompasses every facet of information-handling technology as well as programming.
 
I more assume IT (in an academic setting) has to do with programming because I can't really see how you'd get a degree in it otherwise. If it's more hardware based, I'd see it as more of a skilled trade where you can get certifications and the like, but there wouldn't be a whole degree path with a Bachelor of Whatever at the end.

I will admit that when I hear "IT", I think IT Department which tends to just be the people in charge of networking, troubleshooting hardware, and installing new hardware... generally in that order. :x
