Jack Phillips Assignment #5

As of right now I want to major in physics in college, and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with that degree, but one of the most common careers with that degree is to become a researcher, so I will elaborate on that. I already do research at UK in astrophysics and it is a lot of fun, although it is very difficult to do with only a high school education. To become a researcher I would most likely need to go to graduate school and earn a PhD in physics or astronomy. As a physics researcher I would like to discover the way to mass produce graphene, partially because of the growth of human civilization and all that, but mostly because I would be one of the richest people in the world overnight. Realistically, I would like to make some contribution to the greater human knowledge, no matter how small.
