I have a degree in Architecture but am more interested in the user than the building. I am looking for something along the lines of Urban Social Scientist, combining what I've learned about cities, (social, nutritional, economical, environmental benefits of living dense) into a career.

I know that each different method has its purpose but my book does a poor job in clearly explaining for what types of surveys each one is designed. I also know the Social scientist determines this but is there a basic guide line to follow for the best and most accurate results? Any web links would also be of great help. THANKS

I'm about to start studying for a degree and I realise that once you've graduated you can specialise in a job suited to your degree but what are the most common jobs for graduates? I've been trying to read up but it's all rather confusing. It seems many people who graduate end up in jobs quite unrelated to their degree. I really don't know what I want to do in the end so I'm hoping for some good suggestions. I'm doing life sciences by the way.

I am interested in forensics, but I do not know exactly what I want to do. I like watching shows like Criminal Minds and would love to have a job like the characters, but I think their jobs are many 'real life' jobs combined into one. I wouldn't mind working in a lab, but would also enjoy working on scene. I would enjoy being a crime scene investigator, but do you have to be a cop before you can do that? Thanks everyone :)

Okay, its time for our school to choose what options we take for our GCSE's, we have to think about what type of job we want when we leave school. I would really like to do Forensic Science, but we have 6 options to choose from, from the list below: Art & Design Art Photography *Business studies Child Development *Dance DT Catering DT Graphics DT Resistant Materials Drama French Geography *Health & Social Care History Music Physical Education RE, Philosophy & Ethics Triple Science We have to list the 6 in order from 1-6, 1 being the top choice. We have to take either History or geography or both. Also we have to take French. The choices with the stars next to them; Business Studies, Dance and Health & Social care, these we can only do one out of the three. To do triple science you have to have consistent level 6's or above. I'm not sure what options to take to do Forensic Science and whether to take History or Geography?

What if we all end up in a society where we become cogs in a computer-technology machine, where all we do is just write code and program and build computers and machines? Doesn't that sound a bit dreary and bleak to you, where there's no other jobs nor opportunities to be human? It seems that America would become slaves to Technology as it did to Industrialization a hundred years ago.

I don't just want to work at a school. I want to be some sort of scientist, and I want it to have a high salary. What would that kind of job be called? I'm still just a teenager, but this would help me know what classes I should take in high school and what college to go to.
