Actually, it does. But I'm pretty sure your soul becomes a hollow shell within a year. I was originally going to go into Journalism, until I realized that A) I was learning nothing at all in post-secondary english/writing courses and B) It's kind of a dying field and even if I were to find a job the pay is generally bad. It became apparent very quickly that I had an interest in Political Science and Economics. I was torn between the two until I discovered that a nearby school had a Policy Studies program which incorporates both and has a 100% job placement rate. The choice was pretty easy at this point, especially considering that this sort of background would be very beneficial if I do in fact decide to try my hand at Journalism someday. | ||

worse, by the time I realized this it was in the middle of my junior year, and my professors convinced me to stick with it... that didn't turn out so well, though now I want to either do something music related or go into med school (although my grades might suck too much T_T) | ||

My advice to you is to find a career that gives you a valuable skill set, that is also interesting enough for you to pursue and become very good at. | ||

Honestly though I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm in my senior year of high school and nothing else holds the same interest for me. Oh and I'm going into music performance. Will probably also take music ed. too like everybody else. | ||

edit: i took info science (too lazy for CS/don't like writing proofs), you would be shocked how much companies value people who can give powerpoints | ||

Do something you enjoy, but make sure there's a career field that you're interested in waiting for you. | ||

1. I can apply early decision specifically to the school of engineering. I would most definitely get in (not to sound cocky, but with my grades I'm not sure how I couldn't get in) but I don't know if my interest lies outside engineering and in pure math/physics or not. I've heard it's relatively easy to switch out, but hard to get in, so this seems like a pretty good choice, but I don't know how much exposure I would get to actual pure math/physics and if it's enough to tell if i like those subjects or not. 2. I can apply to university studies and simply decide what I want to do from there (uni studies is basically undecided major, you take a variety of classes as to what you're interested in). Can anyone with interest in these subjects give me some life experience? I'm currently in AP Physics C and Calculus BC in high school, both subjects I enjoy learning about. | ||
