Hi there

Hi everyone. I'm 17 and from England. I am currently doing A/s levels in maths, physics, chemistry and biology so most people think I'm completely mad.

Hi stardust,
Welcome to the forum! wave
What most people think is not right,
you're pretty smart smile
You have taken very good subjects! smile

Re: Hi there

The people who think you are mad are probably mad.

Do you have plans for a career in any of those areas?

But it you think they are mad then does that mean that you're mad?
And now that I have said that does that make me mad?
If I call myself mad am I mad for saying that?

All this confusion... it's maddening.

It wanted to be normal.

Re: Hi there

chemistry may be better. A drug development usually costs 10 years ! ! And you will expect to be some thing like a manager day after day.

Re: Hi there

I think I am leaning towards the biochemistry at the moment as I find some of the physical chemistry quite hard

Re: Hi there

How hard? exploring radioactiveness? Using quatum theory? or discovering Nanotech?
