Ok, I've been thinking this for awhile.

if lets say I wanted to basically "Work" in paintball industry

I would first have to take 2 years of Mechanical Engineering at my College, then take another 2 years of Ballistic Enginnering at a University in Vancouver.

Would that be basically what I want to strive for?

Excluding my Marks in Grade 12, is that what I'd need to work in the Paintball Industry?

good question, i would like to know too.

Add in street smarts, and some cutthroat business tactics and you're golden

Wow... to be honest ballistic engineering is the first thing that has ever really appealed to me for a college choice... thank you :) You might have changed my life

[spydervenom]

When I grow up I wanna be a Fireman!

:p

Just Kidding.

and Syntax Error.

I have changed many lives before.

Bow down before me.

It depends on what you want to do in teh paintball industry really.

If you want to design the newest greatest markers, you should pursue a BS in Physics with most of you strengths in Fluid Dynamics and Metallergy.

If you want to design paintballs then you would need chemistry strnegths.

The ballistics courses are actually geared toward firearms and aerodynamics when paintball is pneumatic and fluid dynamics. Air is a fluid and how to generate enough force to start the initial velocity of the projectile to optimum muzzle velocity is what designing markers is all about. The ballistics are the same in most cases, a liquid filled plastic coated projectile will fly through the air in the same way out of any marker it is all about rate of fire, gas efficiency and initial velocity. Which is all covered in fluid dynamics.

Of course in today's market you may want to minor in electronic engineering since most equipment is being geared with electronically controlled pneumatics and feed systems.

Maybe I am being too much of a geek but this how I see it.

Of course if you just want to run a field or store then take business courses, with entrepreneurial strengths.
