What are cool science majors?

[THClord]

Ok, so I'm having a hard time deciding my major. I pretty much rock at all sciences.
I love programming. I also enjoy physics.
Besides that I am extremely good in chemistry and math, although I don't enjoy them so much.
I like biology when the stuff is interesting. Ex. I like evolution, but not cellular bio.

Overall, I love creating stuff. I love creating computer programs, building RC airplanes, doing all sorts of "building" projects, doing art, writing music (I suck at these two, lol), or making bongs/vapes... so I just love making stuff

I do not want to do anything medical. Not even pharmaceuticals. I also don't want military jobs.


Programming would be the coolest job ever, I'd love it, but it is soooooo outsourced.

I was talking to an electrical engineer who told me engineering sucks.
I still have to find out more about this.



What do you guys think are cool science majors? I don't necessarily want to make bank, but have a job which is pretty cool. Something where I might even look forward to going to work.

Write anything that pops into your mind. There are no wrong answers in this thread.

P.S. I'm gonna start my sophomore year at UCSD next week.

In my freshman year, I transferred colleges, and, one of my friends was a senior who majored in Environmental Science.

I found it interesting, so, when I went back to school, I majored in it.

Too bad it gets to be -50* with the wind chill. I had to keep moving to Virginia to warm up, and, only took chemistry towards my major.

-50? That's cold! Socal weather is like 50*-90* pretty much all year. Kinda boring too. I like having 4 seasons, not just 1.

Environmental Science sounds pretty cool. And it is needed too with all these huge companies and stuff. If I became that I would be someone devoting their life to protecting the environment? I can't picture myself like that.

Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development.

I just remember seeing his textbooks. For some reason, that's what turned me on to it.
