LOOK MAN WOULD you just.............. j/kThey taught him cursive, but not what the language actually means!
Okay, back down off the red button, I'm not starting a flame war... but when you say things like "For the most part I always" (a blatant contradiction), I have to comment.
whatever i ed up, that's why I'm not an english major.

what did yo write?
C'mon, I'm your troll, just get used to it.
"for the most part" = mostly
"always" = always
I'm a scientist, but let me just tell you that expression is important whatever you do.

Ecology. The root word, "ecos", is derived from the Greek word for house, "oikos", symbolizing the interdependence of separate elements functioning in harmony together. Basically, ecology is the study of systems and inter-relationships.
I did undergrad in natural ecology, and now a Masters in Human Ecology, which is about the interaction between humanity and the natural environment, focusing on the way in which human behaviour generates resource consumption, and the consequences of that over short and long timescales.
Human ecology is totally interdisciplinary - you have to be able to get your head around everything from economics, politics and social psychology, to ecology, forestry, chemistry and geology.
Are you studying science or engineering?
Science, Neurobiology. So you must ride a bike then.
Good luck with that. Want to be a researcher?
As a consequence of studying human ecology I did change my life in a lot of small ways that have resulted in large changes in my overall consumption. In 18 months, I've reduced my consumption of petrol by 75% and electricity by 60%. On the consumer goods side of things, I never bought much "stuff" anyway, but most of what I do buy is second hand. When it comes to food, I buy locally if possible (from farmer's markets). None of the changes has reduced my standard of living at all. We all waste much more than we think we do.
So yup, I ride a bike most of the time, and I love it - I'm fitter than ever. I still own a (second hand) car, but only use one tank of gas (about 16 gallons) a month at most... February's tank is still not finished.
When my thesis is done, I'm going to start a consultancy teaching people and businesses how to streamline their lives from a human ecological POV. They will save money, and the environment. It's a win win.

I actually wanna be a neurosurgeon, I think the odds of completley going through med school is like equivlalent to the odds of making the NBA, but if that doesn't break through I'll try to get my masters and that will suffice to gain me some other occupation.
Neuroscience and Stallone, what an interesting mix.
As for what happens with your career, I found that things changed drastically when I got to college. At first I wanted to be a chemistry researcher, then I spent 10 hours a week in the lab in first year and hated it, while at the same time I discovered ecology and philosophy. Finished my degree in those, then did a bunch of random things before going back to school. Who knows what will actually happen next?
some unnamed thats always on my was talking about the god again.....
