No don't be daft. Only Michie's get to become squillionaires.

Go to community college for 2 years, focus on economics and english/math, then transfer into a good uni like UC Berkeley or USC or University of Pennsylvania to study either Finance or Accounting.

Finish my BS in Psych and go onto Grad school probably at NIU or Chicago School of Psychology to be a Child Psychologist. Then I'll probably go ahead and get a PhD just to protect myself in the future as now you can't do anything with a Bachelors much and maybe soon you won't be able to do anything with a Masters. I hope to maybe work at an institution perhaps where I can help the people who really need it and then work for free at a clinic on Saturdays or something. Aaaaaaaaaand then I'll go get institutionalized myself the first time one of my patients offs themselves.

I've been accepted to Missouri Acadamey for Math, Science, and Computing. Graduate highschool with an associate's degree in Science. Continue school at Mizzou or Northwest. After that I want a career in wildlife biology or genetic research.

[pyke]

Begin my university for computer science in the fall and than hate that for the next 5 years

[Sean]

I'm planning on double majoring in Business and either Mechanical or Robotic Engineering.

[slimemonkey]

Finish up the remaining...few weeks of high school.

Go to U of Michigan and probably double major in comp sci and electrical engineering...
- get a Bachelors, Masters, and PhD in computer science...if I can still tolerate it.

Become a professor of comp sci or ...whatever piques my interest by then and then do research and make my grad student do all the teaching work.

.. Stay that way until I ... can no longer think

[nox]

graduate high school without being left back again

Sweet, what grade are you in now, and what schools are you planning on applying to?

I wanted to do something like that except with Nuclear engineering but engineering is dead. You will never get a lot of money for that job. But if you love what you do and money isn't the most important thing then by all means have fun =)

Maybe in Canada... but I know that Engineers are needed worldwide, as there is always development going on. There really is nothing you can do with a degree in Physics, which is why I really don't plan on having only that as a degree. But I'm now going to minor in Business as well. Do Freelance Graphic Design on the side for fun. I could give two shits about money, I just want to live my life. (But I do know the national average in America at least is 80,000$ out of college, and it is constantly rising).

I've always wanted to do Engineering, but like you said, money wont matter if I love what I do.

There really is nothing you can do with a degree in Physics,

You can be a professor, or a different research jobs.
Especially particle/nuclear physics

[foogie]

well, high school is done, as is my first year university...

now I've got 4 months or so left here in japan, when I get home I'll go to the U of leth, get some kind of degree of something, find a job, and perhaps some day move back to japan.

[Frizzle]

Work out.
Become Porn star.

[sonic]

Sonic that was stepping over the line ok...post invisied.

Anyway it totally depends where you are in terms of engineering. I know here electronic engineers are in high demand (which is what John's doing). Whereas other forms of engineering, there's an excess and only the best get jobs.

With law here, if you only have a law degree, you're probably not going to get a job unless you've got top marks, which is why I'm doing social science as well. I'm also applying to the hospital I want to work at later, doing smaller jobs like secretarial and research tasks.

Ink still hasn't told me where his friend went to school.

[Ives]

High School dropout, got thrown into an excel program charter school, finished the rest of what i needed in a year.
College dropout, attended community college and some classes at UC boulder, but quit all of them. I do plan on taking philosophy again. Philosophers intrigue me like crazy, but I don't know names well past Ayn Rand, Krishnamurti, Nietzche, etc.

Ink still hasn't told me where his friend went to school.

I can't remember off the top of my head, I've been trying to get him to talk, but he seems to be away all too much and his cell won't pick up.

[jillian]

Starting a few years ago... uhm...

Attend a small public high school, take toughest curriculum available, including college classes on the side starting my sophomore year, because no IP or AB is available.
be involved in EVERYTHING (the one plus about so small a school) basically just for my transcript, including WYSE, quiz bowl, cheerleading, Student council, volunteering, NHS...
Graduate with a 4.1GPA (I'm not bragging... it was EASY.) Tie for Valedictorian.
Attend Grinnell College in Grinnell, IA (present!)

Now it can split off two ways!

PLAN A!
Major in psych, philosophy (yeah philosophy!), or biology, with a concentration in Neuroscience (yeah Neuro!).
Do some independent study, go to Hungary for Neuroscience my junior year.
Graduate, travel for a year or two (either Peace Corps or JET or something teaching English or doing research) before I can hopefully get paid for grad school in Neuroscience, since women in science are a majority, weela!
Do research/ teach/ be an ethicist. TRAVEL YEAH!

PLAN B! (more likely!)
Lose my scholarship!
Sadly shuffle back to my hometown and go to a public university!
Get a degree in something easy!
Travel and never come back!

joy!

Athean... I'm not sure I would consider Ayn Rand a philosopher... or maybe I just don't like her

[Sean]

Jillian, you seem to have everything worked out

Pretty and smart, the deadly two.
