Question
Hello Sir,
I passed my 11th grade with 98 in Chemistry, 96 in Physics and 97 in Maths.
Can you please suggest some fields which have great scope in future?
Thanks in Advance
Hello Abdul,
with your results you may see great future in any exact science or engineering. That is as much as your result can tell. You should decide, what you want to do based on other factors: What do you enjoy most? Tackling theoretical problems, practical lab work, inventing new designs for appliances, working indoors vs. outdoors, using computer, programing simulations... At your age and with your profile in Chemistry, Physics and Maths you are able to do anything you like.
All sorts of engineering are and will be in high demand and reasonably well paid. If you feel more inclined towards science then you choose a scientific education and career. Scientists earn less than engineers on average, but it is a fair living. It is most important to do what you like - only then you have a chance of being successful and satisfied.
If you tell me more about yourself, your likes and dislikes among school subjects, I may be able to give you more personal advice.
Cheers,
Daniel

Questions anyone (teenager, undergrad, graduate, professional) may ask on physics, mathematics or inorganic chemistry. Questions may concern subjects themselves or a possible future career in them, if you need advice on a school or hobby project, or you just came across a question that is beyond your current curriculum. I answer bare textbook problems sometimes, but I reserve the the right to redirect you to Physics-Physics section. The kind of questions I like to answer: I just started having science classes at school and they seem difficult, but I enjoy them. Where do I find more information on this, which is not in textbooks but still comprehensible to me? Just leaving high school, and I feel science is really the thing for me. Can you recommend a school and an undergrad program suitable to my inclinations? I am in my second undergraduate year in Physics. We learned the basics of universe expanding this year, the Hubble constant and all that, but invited speakers that gave talks on astrophysics in our department seemed not to agree with this model at all. Is it of any use at all? I am building a [materials research] experimental device for my masters/doctorate thesis and I have the following problem:... I have tried ..., but it still doesn't work. Where might the problem be?
