What are some jobs where you can choose your own hours?

Which engineering branch to choose?? Chemical or Aerospace...?

• Let me introduce you to my problem: Chemical engineering- I love chemistry, got potential to crack any problem of chemistry of my level, cracked Level 1 of Chemistry Olympiad... was 1 among 300 who cracked NSEC from 32000 students.... Scored 130/160 in IIT- JEE 2011 in chemistry..... Aerospace engineering- Right since from 4th standard I dream of becoming a astronaut, My interest in this branch increased when I started to spend couple of hours everyday looking into the sky, observing positions of stars, observing satellites and few shooting stars too..... Now problem starts from here, I scored 280/480 in IIT-JEE 2011, will get around 1500-2000 rank .... I can get admission in aerospace at IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras...... But I live in north India .... probably my parents wont allow me to take admission at a place about 2000 Km from my hometown... But I can get Chemical easily at any IITs except IIT Bombay. But my parents wont allow me to choose Chemical as they think Chemical is a bad choice and You wont get any good job in companies like my sister. So what according to you would be a good choice???? According to my heart its 50-50% for both aerospace and chemical... as Im interested in both the branches... Thanx in advance for advice.. My only fear of joining aerospace is that top few students got jobs at NASA and ISRO, left all struggle throughout their lives, further 2000 Km from hometown means only a visit to my parents once in a year...... Correct me if I'm wrong. I hate physics/ I fear from physics ( except modern physics nd aerospace) ...... Thats why only these 2 branches are in my attention

• Answer:

  Chemical engineering should be your obvious choice as it excites you. Stick to your decision and force your parents to agree. You shouldn't give yourself any chances to regret your actions later in life.
