YOu see, I'm an academic masochist. I went into high school thinking physics/chemistry dual major. Now, chemisrty/mechanical engineering. I really would like to do aerospace engineering and/or astrophysics, but I figure with those, I could only get hired by an airplane company, the military, a university, or NASA. Sort of limiting, eh? Hence, chemistry (good range of job possibilities) and mechanical engineering. (Pretty general, I think) So, anyway, I plan on about 9 years as an under grad... ouch. Lots of APs, and summer classes are in my future I think. Then Ph.D. in something, mainly so I can introduce myself as Dr. Van Oort.
