So, here I am. I finally finished my highschool, so the college question lies ahead of me. I'm pretty interested in math/physics and I was quite good at those subject, but I can't decide with graduation course should I choose.

could you tell your experiences and you chose?

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

So you just graduated from HS? Are you accepted to a college yet? Can you please clear this all up? Your question is very confusing (plus what Rage said)

Oh, yes. Sorry for my bad english, it's not my mother tongue.
I just finished HS few days ago, I didn't even apply to any college yet. But to even apply to one I must have some idea on what I am going to do, right?

I took a bunch of courses in high school that prepared me for choosing my major. First was a Pascal programming class, second was a drafting class. I really loved both so I decided on either architecture/engineering or computer programming.

I then learned that engineers need way more school so I chose computer programming. Then in college I took a networking class and found out it takes both my loves and smushes them together. So now I'm a systems administrator for a 250 employee company. I get to design new ideas and network layouts and I also get to do some minor programming and problem solving.

So take what you love, even if it is a long shot and go for that first in college. You can always switch your major down the road if you find something better!

Your first year in college is just going to take all the crappy courses anyway like english 101

Go and learn engineering (for example computer science/engineering) it will make good use of your skills, it's regarded at least decently everywhere, will likely provide a job opportunity and chances for great carriers.

just my two cents

Croatia. I can study in Croatia or Italy. Well I really like physics but I can't stand the idea of working the whole life with the theory so I thought of something where physics is applied like engineering. But the problem is that I am not so sure about it either. Not to mention that at..umm what's called that big exam you do at the end of hishschool..I didn't do so well neither in Physics nor in Math.

Studying physics doesn't have to lead into a very theoretical job. There are many applications of physics without having to change major to engineering or something like that... just so you know.

How about architecture, you could become a structural engineer (design buildings and do calculations to see if they will be safe and solid). Granted you'd have to learn how to draft architectural plans, but you could give it a try...

What I suggest you do is go out, and go to workplaces of the type of job you think you would like doing. Take a look at what the people do, the best thing is if you can somehow get to talk to and employee about what the does.. Is it interesting for you, do you like it.

The key here is being proactive; taking the initiative, going out and searching instead of just thinking. Who knows, you might find something you really like. (Think of it as gathering information. The more data you collect and can process, the more you take into account, the better your analysis will be.)

Also, in terms of college, I think that what you study and where you study it are both quite important. My advice is: find something you like and make a very clear plan of just exactly what you are going to do to get to that career. Then follow your plan exactly, and whenever you feel discouraged/lost/don't know what you're doing/why you're doing it, look at your list and remind yourself "I want to do this, and to do that first I must do this, this and this."
