Happy birthday! I remember how excited I was to turn 18; it meant I could move out of my parent's house. Not that they were terrible or anything, I just relished the increased liberty. Good luck.
OBTW, what are you thinking of studying for that undergrad degree?
Well, I'm not moving out of my parent's house or anything, and they're pretty liberal with the amount of freedom they've given me as a teenager. I just thought that I'd celebrate because it's my 18th birthday. This was no big deal about increased freedom or getting away from my parents or anything.
Now, for an undergrad degree I'm thinking of studying (almost 100% sure) for an electrical egineering degree, probably from Marquette University. I'm also considering continue college after four years in order to get a masters or PhD in such a field.
I figure Uncle Sam would like that, especially because if I'd join the military I'd probably (almost 90% sure) join the Air Force. (Chair Force, Air Farce, I know all the jokes.
)
I've also had people tell me that if I did join the Air Force (military personnel I've also spoken with have been impressed with my performance in High School) I'm probably smart enough to become an officer and also a pilot. (Of which I am not opposed to either) I figure Uncle Sam would probably like a degree like electrical engineering for those two fields in the military. (officer and pilot) However, I'd be fine with some other job in the military besides pilot. I do want to be an officer though.
P.S. Does anyone here know what types of jobs one might get in the Air Force with an electrical engineering degree? Is there research that goes on in the military that an electrical engineering degree would be useful for? For example, mechanics; computer work; weapons development work; weapons system development; weapons guidence development; weapons platform system development; guidence development; vehicle development, etc?
Edit: I forgot to place the "cool" smilely at the bottom of this post.
