Nuclear Fusion, good field?

You asked a lot of questions, and I will briefly answer them all:

- Any field that is in any type of engineering is usually an ok field because if you change your mind half way through a degree, then you still have your degree and engineering degrees are broad which is great. Nuclear fusion will most likely deal with physics engineering over nuclear engineering.

- You most likely would face very little heat politically or socially because you would not be the guy running it. You would be the lab rat until deemed your own program with enough experience. And from above, you could get a degree in engineering physics (BUT RESEARCH THIS YOURSELF!) and then once in graduate school, you can declare what you are doing.

- Same as above, engineering physics is where this is at, but I am a chemical engineer and I could go down the same route, it really is what you want to spend your time on in graduate school and what you are approved for.

And here, instead of singly answering these, let me give you some tips. You will definitely need a 3.8 GPA or above to get into a graduate school worth your time. And your algebra needs to be flawless, and I mean absolutely flawless. If you took regular physics in a high school, that is a joke. People get the idea that if they can do that course (with newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism), they can do an entire four year program easily and it will be like high school. But, you have to know it is what you want to do, you need strong algebra and calculus, and you need great logic in physics. and you are also going to be competing with some brilliant minds in your class. I can not tell you how many of my friends joined physics engineering programs and out of about 20-30 from my school, most of them dropped out and a couple switched majors (to things like psychology). And I can not tell you how many people I have seen get through the program, but they have a 2.5 GPA and can not even continue to graduate school and are forced to get a job they hate,

But if you are really determined, you can do it, if you are dedicated. Just remember, after your second year, expect to study at LEAST 4-5 hours every day after school, your entire weekends gone, and try to grab as many A's as you can. It is so much different than a high school, I can not digress this enough. Engineering degrees from good schools are not easy, and remember, it will be expensive, you will be committing four years of your life and if halfway through you decide to turn your back, you now have loans to pay (mostly likely over 50,000 $)

And as for nuclear fusion, I think this is a promising field in the future. And if you make it through, and cannot get into grad school, you still have a degree, and can except to make about 60,000-85,000 a year, which is not bad at all. Sometimes more. Really think about this, it is four years, and make sure it is what you want to do. I am usually optimistic about things like this, but coming to America, getting into a decent school, getting a high GPA especially in engineering, and getting into a graduate school that is honored, well that is what your life will be. But by all means, it also sounds like quite the adventure, and quite the accomplished task, and something to be proud of if you succeed, so I say go for it, and start researching and applying for a spring semester.

All the best.

The photograph voltaic radiation is of distinctive varieties. numerous it fairly is electromagnetic waves: radio, IR, seen, UV, X-ray, or perhaps gamma rays. None of those are deflected; we are secure by distance and the ozone layer and different layers of environment and a few only gets with the aid of. The particle radiation is a mix of protons, electrons, neutrons (volatile, those), neutrinos, helium nuclei, etc. The electrically charged ones get deflected by Lorentz rigidity: F = qvBsin theta whilst they get to earth's magnetic field. The stuff does loops around the sphere lines and finally ends up smacking into the north magnetic pole in Canada--hence the aurora borealis (and aurora australis on the different ingredient.) The debris that at the instant are not charged come on with the aid of.
