What does a minor in physics really tell you about an individual?

WELL, I don't know what to tell you here.  If I had to answer the question from a outside perspective (i.e. not having a B.S. in math and a physics minor myself), I would say having the physics minor is a sign that not only are you able to conquer the rigid world of mathematics, but that you are flexible enough to apply the math to a specific discipline, in your case physics, rather than just having a pure logic style of thinking that turns math majors into math Ph.Ds.  \n\nFrom my personal perspective, it hasn't meant much.  I'm headed into the education field since I haven't been able to solidify a job doing anything I'm interested in related to math or physics.  I hope you have a better student services/job placement program at your school.

You should tell a little about your personality so people can have a little something to work with

Well first off that is a good question. It depends on who the person is. Is it a person looking to define his own moral character if so then look inside him/her self.

Both are important, but the proper ratio of each is the most important.  I haven't had physics for so long...maybe you should also try the physics section so that some smart physicist will sit down and figure it out for you.

Look around yourselves almost everything around you has some physics.The computer you use ,the vehicle you drive ,houses we live in ,various appliances we use everything has some physics involved.We are in effect trying to study the very nature of things there physical properties .

- tell (somethings) about yourself\n- what's your weakness/strongness\n- How your chosen major may affect your future\n- why you choose this university\n..............

I guess it's all very well having passed a major in college....... but I guess passing a minor in a subject helps make you look cleverer to potential employers + if you have trouble finding a job related to the subject you majored in, you've always got the one you minored in to fall back on and help you find an alternative job until the right one comes along.

Not really. There are some internships if you want a job, but they are not going to listen to theories of just any random teenager who walks in the door. If you really do have a good theory, get it published in the appropriate scientific journal, like Nature or the Astrophysical Journal. Then NASA might pay some attention to it.

Maybe not by the questions that he/she ask, but maybe, by the way he/she presents the question...could give you a sense of his/her personality?? Foreigner-teenager-brainiac...well, i'm sure you get what i'm saying!!  What would you judge me as?!

You only get a degree on the subject you are majoring in. You can get a degree in the "minor" that you have chosen, if you had earned enough credits on that subject. but then, that wouldn't be your "minor" anymore, would it?\n\nto answer your question, minor, i guess, is to show off how diversified your education has been. some people minor a language to get better chance to be employed in foreign companies or MNCs as well.\n\nim from hong kong btw. but education system is not so different as far as major/minor is concerned...i guess

it all depends.  It has a lot to do with how many other crimes a minor has been convicted of and stuff like that it also depends on the age because a person my be still considered a minor by the state they might not be by the crimes they commit on how harsh they are.  It is really on a case by case basis

you just have to wait and see what the person is all about, and from their behavior and personality will tell it all.

Don't pick a minor yet.. just be thankful you know what you want to major in already! Many college students don't know that much when they first start. (I've changed mine twice and I;m a junior!) Just take basic freshman classes and English classes.. as you start taking basic classes like History, Psych, foreign language, etc, you will find what you like best.  I am a Spanish minor and I love it, by the way~! (just an idea;-)  well good luck!! have fun at college

dont worry about physics. review grammar instead. it's more important

Charisma. I had a real good math teacher, who really connected with all of his students. One day out of every month, he told stories about his Korean War experiences. Nothing about math! We got to know a little about him, and were able to relate to him as a person, rather than an authority figure. Let them know who you are, and let them share your life a little.

I just had this explained to me, too! Ok, a major is the actual degree, usually a 4 year degree. A minor is just a specialty. So like, you can Major in English, but minor in Shakespear. Things like that.
