What do you do for a living?
I've always wondered what scientists make for a living. It seems a lot of you have to stick around academia and rely on grants & such.
Or do you have a salaried job? If so, do you produce anything? Work a 40 hr week? etc...
Judging by the careers emails and leaflets I get bombarded by, the people who want physicists most are weapons companies and finance firms.

Level Three of a BSc in Computing Science with a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence.
I say Level Three and not 3rd Year because... well...
Technically it's my fourth year. I went to uni when I was 17, messed about for a year and then dropped out from financial pressures and just not getting terribly good results. I went back when I was about 23, but I had to retake first year. I got pretty good results then and they've only improved since then.
When I was at school, we were warned about the dangers of taking a year out before going to uni, because that year could easily extend to forever. In retrospect I think that was the worst advice I've ever been given. So the moral, to anyone who maybe hasn't started uni yet: Don't go just because "it's expected", and don't go because you have nothing better to do. Only go when you know it's what you want, and think you might be ready for it.

Originally by: Nafri 4,5 years of biology/science, dunno whats that in english grades, but something after a master probably
I assume you're in America? Dont know how things compare year for year, but a bachelors degree is normaly 3 years in university after succeeding at college (so from age 18 onwards if you've taken no breaks) and a masters is an extra 2 years ontop of that usualy. If the systems are equivalent then you're at about a masters level in England.
