[quote=Anonymous][quote]- how does a HS kid know which such certainty that they want to have a career in  physics research? This is not something they typically have exposure to with enough regularity to know. What experiences allowed your DC to decide this path?[/quote]
[quote]Exactly. I don't know why we are all wasting our time responding to this thread. This person has no clue.[/quote]
[quote]The same way literally any other child has a career idea in mind. People like you are so useless and add nothing to these threads[/quote]
Our kid has been gung-ho for physics since 10th grade, and the enthusiasm shaped every aspect of the college application process this past year and has has only grown more intense the more the kid learns (through mostly self-directed inquiry, plus dual-enrollment and an excellent summer program at a research university).

The parents did not impose this. It isn't 'careerism' but intellectual passion, sparked initially by stuff the kid discovered watching videos and lectures on the internet.[/quote]
