For you younglings in high school what are you taking and where do you plan on going to college?

Coaching running after college for extra credit (also my other way to get girls)

Plan on going to Fayettville State for one more year after this then going to UNC to get my major in Network Management and minor in PYC. I also plan on going into OCT to then join the army and hopeful do the following: BCT, AIT, Airborne, SF, not get shot

I'm planning on attending James Madison University. Majoring in Social Work. I took a year off before deciding on going to college, so...

I wont find out if I got accepted until April, classes dont begin until the fall. Fun stuff.

Monroe Community College, majoring in Computer Science. Still. Lets see if third try is a charm on Calc I. I was supposed to be getting my Associates by the end of this semester but I had a bit of a tangle with Calculus that has held me back. This semester, its fuckin' goin' DOWN.
:evil:

[firecrackerNC]

Im in highschool and plan nothing. Ill prolly be a bartender at Legends Dance Bar or something and mabey few years later try the military out.

[OfaLoaf]

I'm going to take a gap year off from School, then go to either Mich. Tech., Purdue, Univeristy of Mich., or (in my dreams) MIT.

Planning on attending Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York. I'm planning on double majoring between Physics and Computer Sciences.

what high school do you go to?

DONT DO IT!

You'll end up like me, my plans crumbled now four years later, I'm a wage slave struggling to find a way to get money to go back to school.

my friend goes to MIT....bastard genius he is :mad:

[Derfud]

what high school do you go to?

Earl Marriott Secondary

[I Hate Pants]

I've started taking hospitality, hotel managment at George Brown College. Get my diploma and then go into business.

Whats the difference between a college and a community college?

[Mr1337Duck]

Community Colleges are cheaper, but not as good. Adam Carolla despises community colleges.



As for me, I'm just a freshie in HS, but I intend to go into the law/political field, or maybe work in biotech or computers. If I go to law, I'm gonna go become a lawyer for the NRA or some other group I support (I'm a big 2nd ammendment supporter). If I go to politics, I'm probably gonna start with working at the state level, work my way up to being a senator or a representative, and take a shot at presidentential cantidacy in my 40s or 50s. I hope to go do what they always say you can do. They tell kids "You know, some day you can grow up and become president.". And that's the beautiful thing about this country, someone with some smarts, some guts, and some luck can be a highly successful person.


As for being a doctor or biotech dude, I'd like to work in the fields of either nanotech or more effective prosthetic limbs. We will eventually reach the point where we can produce prosthetics that are just as effective as a normal human limb, if not moreso, that are controlled by thought and thus not as clumsy as today's prosthetics. It can be done.





That's where I intend to go occupationally. But as for college, I honestly have no clue. As I get later on in HS, maybe I'll come to a decision.

But if you were born out of country you cannot be the president.

But if you were born out of country you cannot be the president.

Or born overseas because of the US military. Army brats cant be president either. :(


Not that I want to be. But I can probably come up with a better nickname for the russian president than "pootie-poot".

dude, thats awesome, I had you figured as a definate lumberjack or riveter, bartender at a stripjoint is a huge step up, though if I were you I'd do the military first, do college while enlisted, and if you dont get blown up by a suicide bomb, you will be waaaaaay ahead of the game. Get in the military and get out as soon as you can, the vietnam vets are starting to get old enough where they are filling the management positions, and the ones who are in management are obviously smart enough to realise how much responsibility and work ethic the military can jam into a puny brain like yours, yet while completely taking your free will, and they will jump on you like pirahnas on a puppy.

All I'd do during that time would be work a bit and do a roadtrip or three... nothing that would really suck that much money away.

[Neon Apocalypse]

Wow you people are smart.

I'm a freshman in highschool and In all honors classes. Though I'm doing kinda bad and on the verge of not making it into them next year.

I better fuckind ace these midterms.
