Im in my senior year in high school and I dont know what Im going to do? I kinda wnt to go to college but im not sure for what? All I really like is computers and video games and electronics. I was thinking about getting into computer stuff but it seems WAY too hard like computer programming.Also Ill admit it I am HORRIBLE I repeat HORRIBLE in math and to my knowledge computer carrers need much math skills.I am really worried about my future and where I will be in ten years. I get kinda scared a bit when I think of what I will do in my future. By the way Im 17 years old.

Oh my god. Do not go to college. Go to a professional wrestling school. It's an easy way to get money if you act like john cena, having a seizure after every move.
Just go to college, whether you want to or not. You don't have decide on a major until you're 3rd year, and by then you'll have some sort of idea what you'll want to do.
I also don't know what to do. I wanted to be a pscyhiatrist but I screwed myself over by not taking the proper math because I thought it didn't matter at the time. Now I'm even wondering if I want to go to university or if I should just become a cop. Then I think about if I should just join the army or give acting a shot since it seems damn interesting and I'm a way better actor than any of the stupid, over-acting drama kids in my school.
[QUOTE="arsios"]WOW I just read about video game testers and thats really satrting to interst me A LOT!!! Anyone have any good links on this job/carrer?AARONRULZ1
Don't go to college,its cost money which you probably don't have,and you can get rich WITHOUT going to college.

What do you mean? What do you mean what? get rich without college?
I suggest college. Like someone said, if you don't know what to do then you will pick something up soon. On top of that, it's a good experience. By the Way UC Santa Cruz has a major dedicated towards video games. I dont know where you live or what that major really has in it, but it's something. Don't worry, this will pass.
Your find something, just don't get caught up in the whole "oh this college is expensive so it has to be good" thing. Remember that calc at Harvard is the same as calc at a community college, only difference is the price. As long as you get a degree of some sort, in a field you like, your be happy.
Don't be a game tester if you want to make money. For one, the only testing jobs that pay well are QA Lead jobs and the assistants. Everyone else is pretty much a temporary hire. You might have to live in an apartment. Also, be prepared to do the same thing over and over again. The QA Lead for Oblivion would repeat things as much as 150 times a week.
Do what I did...find a few things tha tlook interesting and work part while you go to school part time and explore your different options. You'll earn money, credits that can be put toward a diploma, and valuable experience in the workplace and college or university.
I am in the same boat. I went into Uni taking engineering science it did not appeal to me, transfered into physics but I just wasnt happy. Half a semester wasted, now I am here, not in school, left with chaos on my mind.
you don't have to choose @ 18, most people never really know what they want to do with their life.
If you like video games I suggest game journalism over game testing, you'll have more fun. I suggest you go to school for journalism, and spend the next four years writting reviews for any source that'll take em.
You don't have to go to college but I've ran into alot of people in their 30's that say they can't move ahead where they work because they lack a degree (or so they say). I also know alot of people that do just fine w/ out degree's, but they also have tons of certifications.
