I'm currently a junior in high school right now, and I kind of have somewhat of an idea of what I would like to do with my life. My interests are mainly technology related. Listed below are my main interests/skills. . .

-Working with my hands, building and puting things together

-Video Gaming, (I have bad gaming addiction haha)

-Using my imagination for creativity

-Using computers, I am very good with MS Excell, Word, Publisher, & Powerpont

-Creating, editing, customizing videos

-Can work with people or without

-I have a widespread interest in technology

-Good with math, currently acing Alg. II and Geometry

Any suggestions on what you think might be a good career or education to pursue? All ideas and/or advise is well appreciated.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that people come here asking total strangers to help make their life's decisions for them?

Go to college if you have the money or other means to do so, I would advise against taking out a student loan though because then you are only hurting yourself.

Bouncing around in various college courses (aside from other side benefits) helped me alot in deciding what I want to do.

Also: Don't be an accountant. You will never pass the courses >_>.

Work sucks. You better pursue what you love or you are screwed. Too many unhappy people chasing jobs they will despise. People are stupid. Most don't take into consideration what life will be like when they are actually working. Don't just study something to make money. Chase your dreams. That is the best advice I can give. Do what you love or die trying. Also people... stop saying "why are you asking here blah blah" If you are going to say things like that you are better of saying nothing. You are wasting everyone's energy with your ........................

Hahaah "advisors".

We should all become advisors, we could just have BS question and answer segments with high school students all day, no knowledge required.

I second that, you seem to have the same skills I had when I was in junior high. I've been a comp tech for over 6 years and couldn't be happier. Though, I would expand your skills if you decide to go to college.

Well you are a prime candidate for most kinds of office work, computer technician. If you are creative and impulsive you might get more flashy jobs. Most importently you have to be outspoken.

Your skills are useful in a very wise range of jobs, and it is partly up to you to decide what you wish with your life. Are you more into secure jobs, or do you wish to see the world, like flashy, tense, stressful but amazing.

If I may, Id advice you to travel before you think about finding "the job" to place things in perspective, and see broader pictures, widen the horizon.

I find it the ones that loves thier jobs the most, are the ones who found out about themselves before they found a job.
