...should i be? education time? pay? I love physics because in short, all chemistry, biology, meteorology, archaeology, etc etc etc can be summed up in "physical" equations, but i've come to realize that just as a physicist who knows how electricity works does not know about networks of electricity such as computer hardwares and softwares, chemistry is also very important in dealing with networks of atoms, designing different materials for all types of purposes and things like that. what determines the strength, elasticity, and all the different properties of a material can be explained in physics, but i believe that a chemist has more practice and hands on experience in designing and making these materials.

so again, i love physics, but i want to go into a broader field that doesn't concentrate JusT on material design or... electricity and magnetism.. not any ONE field. i wanna go into something that includes everything. biology would be nice too.

i definately want to get my PhD in sOmE area of physics, and i really want to get my PhD in chemistry as well and a masters in bio. i realize this sounds unrealistic, but it's just something i really would like to do later when i go off to college.
considering all the education i just mentioned, i realize that with PhDs, it's not a set time, and it's until you finish your research. but how long ABOUT, would two phds and a major in physics take me? im 18 now so will i even get all that in my late 20s?

Also, how much would i get paid about? if i had a choice between a high paying job that doesn't even relate to anything in physics chemistry verses a job that is low paying but deals with physics and chem, i would still take the latter, but im still asking because i wanna be rich from what i like to do, who doesn't? can i reach a million per year income within a few years of my job?
