After high school, I had no fucking clue what I wanted to do so I got a job. I worked probably half a dozen companies over the year and what I found is that I always ended up being the tech guy and that I liked computers, and that is what I went into the next year at college. And now I make a big paycheck doing something I enjoy and find easy.

If I were in your position, fuck taking another year of high school. How pointless is that? You should get a job, not menial labor job or a fast food job, but a real job in a real office. And just see where things lead.

The hard sciences are not for the faint of heart. I've known people that go half cocked into it for four years and end up working at good will. You need to have a plan for that to work out and you don't have one.

this is his sister:

[image loading]


she was the national team's second goalkeeper. she was the better than the other goaliebut didn't become the starter until her 3rd year. she had a reputation as "the cat" because she is so good vs penalty shots with her glove hand... she stopped iceland's ace scorer's shot to give her team the championship in the junior goodwill games even though she didn't play at all earlier in the tournament (she trusted her coach).

imo she should've started over goldberg to begin with... nai.protoss' parents must've been pissed with the lack of PT

Sub 80% is bad in any high school. Apply to a crappy community college first before going to a good school

Don't listen to your retarded mother, unless you plan on becoming a lumberjack or some other kind of manual laborer

75% isn't really university worthy, so going back to school isn't a terrible idea. As for "you're not going to uni"... get loans. Maybe apply to more accommodating schools.

When the push comes to shove, you gotta do what you love, even if it is not a good idea.

yes, I got that from Futurama, but it is still meaningful o.o

Well this semester really gave me a chance to improve my grades. I got extremely motivated seeing all my friends leave for university and really started to actually try, currently my average is 84%. The area of science that I am interested in currently is Chemistry, and honestly I cannot even predict what kind of degree I would aim for.

Just get into a university and do whatever. You're not tied down, first year courses are really generic anyways. You can always switch programs and actually being there gives you a much better feel of what it's really like.

I switched programs 3 times and between 2 faculties and now I know what I really want to do for school and for my career. It's not a problem to not know what you want to do, but it's a problem if you're not trying to figure it out.

84% should be decent enough to get into at least mediocre universities like York, Ottawa, etc. Not sure if its good enough for universities like UofT or not though. Anyways, I did a BSc. in Chemistry/Biology, and I would recommend it if you are truly interested in chemistry. That being said, I recommend you start to think about what you are interested in doing with your life. As EatThePath stated, a science degree (inc. chemistry) can lead to many possible job prospects. Many of which do not require further education; however, often these jobs are not very related to chemistry. I have no clue if you are interested in just pursuing a regular government job like this or are interested in teaching, research, medicine, industry (ie. pharmacy etc.). For the latter positions you generally need further education, and if you are truly interested in such options you need to perform well once you start your degree. If you are one of the best, you have pretty unlimited options coming out with a science degree. Basically get your shit together now, and start forming good study habits etc. so you can be successful. Also begin thinking about future goals, because the earlier you look into these the better. In addition, its often too late to improve once you find something you are interested in, so plan on being the best from the beginning. If you can do this you should have no problem proving your parents wrong.
