Plans after high school.

There's only about 4 months left of school left, and I know there are quite a few senior high school students on the board. I just thought it would be interesting if everybody shared their plans for when you got out of HS. Such as what college you're going to, what you plan to study, what kind of employment you'll pursue, if you'll just end up wandering the streets, etc.

I've already been admitted into NJIT, a relatively good tech institute that my brother attended for a B.S. in Computer Engineering. But I'm having an interview at Stevens Institute, one of the best engineering schools in Northeast US. Let's just hope it goes well and I'm admitted.

Though my SAT scores weren't all that, my highschool grades are not too far off from exceptional, so I think my chances are good if I don't fuck up the interview. I got a nice letter from them stating that they received my test scores and were looking forward to working with me. I saw the campus and it is damned classy.

As for a career, right now I'm aiming for a B.S.(not bullshit, mind you) in Chemical Engineering. I'd like to work as a petrochemist or something with pharmaceuticals or just research for more practical household items, like toothpaste with microbes that do shit over time or biodegradable trashbags/containers and shite. I've seen a job ad in NYC that offers up to $120000 a year. :D

If I see that the career is too boring for my tastes(it's a possibility even for me) I can always go for Biomedical Engineering, which is aimed at specifically at pharmaceutical research, working with medic machinery, microbiology, and all that nifty stem cell stuff. I'll find out eventually.

I lost my interest in astronomy because it's very hard to find employment with that kind of degree. Got to think about my bills and shit. :P

No plans for a car yet since public transport to my univ is great. I'm looking for a job while in univ as a waiter or bartender once I'm 18, since those bitches earn assloads in tips(my bro has experience in this).

Well, that's enough of my life. Post your plans for after high school, preferably if you're about to graduate.

Well, I have already graduated, but I'd still like to throw in that I'm on my second year of Electrical Engineering at CSU. If I can keep my grades up well enough I can get into the accelerated MS program, and have that in 5 years total. Which would be damn nice.

Another engineer. :P

California or Colorado State Univ? Sounds like you're doing great in college. :)

I plan on going to college, doing this computer course thing. Need 4 GCSEs to get in. I'm predicted 7 so I expect to get in. After that I don't really know what I'll do. I'll just see what happens after college.

I'll get a High School diploma and go to Full Sail in Florida and graduate there in Game Design and Development.

Well I'm off to the local college. I will be taking English, Media Studies, ICT and Music Performance, which involves forming a band and playing gigs locally. A couple of my bandmates are also taking it so it should be great. I've taken care in choosing subjects that are interesting and relevant to the possible careers I might have, so the next two years are looking to be awesome. Can't wait!

I graduate next year, and I have not the slightest clue what I want to do with my life. Hell, I don't even want to go to college.

I haven't gone to college, and look how fucking rad I am. After [foreverzero] graduates, I will adopt him. Then NY will have TWO people to fear.

Hmm... I still have no goddamn idea of what I wanna do after college... I'm a good coder... The only thing that really entices me right now is game design/development, but I dunno... How far can the industry go...? And even though I'm good at that sorta thing (planning, designing, coding), there's quite a few hurdles in the way...

Besides that, I'm mildly interested in OS development... Maybe I can trounce MS some day... :P

And, uh... The alternative would be teaching...? I'm not good at that, but I could do better than a lot of my programming teachers over here... :wacko:

Ha! I have graduated. But I'll post anyway, to add to the dilemma:P
I took my SATs twice and sucked on purpose both times b/c I didn't want to go out, inspite of my parents' wishes. Then I took various law exams within the country and got through 2 law colleges which would give me an integrated law degree at the end of 5 yrs, however, this would mean me getting a Bach. of Law degree and a Bach. of Arts degree (pass). I want to, however, do my PhD in criminal defence law with special reference to the international scenario, but that would require a BA honours degree instead of the pass one that I would've gotten in the law school. So currently, I am doing my BA in political science and will after this do a 3 yr course in law.

I want to live. As far as more specific plans go, I want to get a job. Not a particularly great job, just something that I can tolerate would be good enough. Give myself a few years off so I can save up money for college. Either that or I would actually go into a branch of the military. Chnces are, I would end up in the military.

ohshi~ I look forward to that day.

I'm planning to get a kicking high-level education, probably related to international politics or economy, and proceed to take the easiest job I can that gives me enough money to live and such. Welfare leeching is a possibility. I win like that.

is there such job as the guys on xfiles deal with...such as working for the FBI an dealing with paranormal? Mr.Mulder really inspires me :)

I haven't a clue, and I'm already in college...I'm still idealistic, so I'd like to do something to help people, even if it's just in little ways.
