Ooo, a new subject for once. You really should get an avatar. Make it one that is you, and keep it, is my recommendation.

You're in America? Just to sort out terms. I'm at a college now, but that's a sixth-form college. 16-18 year-olds: A-levels and such. Then we go to university, as I intend to, to study Electronic Engineering. Alex Wood, MEng. w00t.

w000t! work for microsoft! I hate microsoft, but I wouldn't mind working for them, If I got paid well...

Anyway, I'm almost 18, senior in high school (USA) and taking a web design technical certificate at a local technical college. But after high school, I'm looking for a hardware related job (not programming; it drives me nuts :nuts: ) like networking, or I could get into level design :badass:
Posted 18 years ago2005-10-06 08:30:53 UTC Post #139729
No I'm not going to work for Microsoft! (Well maybe if they pay me enough)
That course just lets you say you can work to their "standard" and its recognised by many employers worldwide, not just Microshite!
It's networking that I'm doing! :)

What do you think to this for a new O/S product -> Macrohard Doors? :cool:

18 years old. Just started community college (although taking only a math class, then a career/life planning class on Oct 25), then plan to transfer to a 4-year college after 2.5 years. I don't know what I'm going to study, but probably something with computers, like computer game design or computer programming. Basically computer science.

16, Currently Studying the first year of my A-Levels at Clitheroe Royal Grammar 6th Form College, UK. They being Chemistry, Maths, Biology and Critical Thinking. I hope to study either Medicine, Biomedical Chemistry or similar at University.

My eventual plan is to study a post-grad in Genetics, then finally create an army of cloned monkies. Then who knows .. they world could be mine.

I could've done university here in Holland, but I decided to go to highschool, or whatever it is called in America or other countries. It's kind of the same as university, just simpler and more practical. I chose for it because of the practical aspect.
So far it's going well: I'm in my second year, doing some fourth-years things as an extra to finish this study faster, and that's interesting subjects actually.
Oh, and it's a programming course. Informatics.

After that, I'm going to find a job, maybe try something in the games industry but if that doesn't work out, I'm fine with a 'regular' job. :)

Critical Thinkging AS, You kinda have to analyse arguments, apparently Universities like it :/
Posted 18 years ago2005-10-06 13:51:02 UTC Post #139865
Ok, I'm in my third university year, Architecture School to be precise. Before that, I spent a year in another uni doing computer engineering, but It was nothing like I expected. Just math and more math.
In architecture, I still get to use computers but only for doing things I like: map making, rendering, image editing etc.

The whole thing takes 5 years, although I might be forced to spend 6 years at uni because of some subjects. After that, I might not be a proper architect, but instead I'd like to have a job as an artistic and technical manager of a videogame/cinema company.

The good thing about architects is that we are forced to learn lots of things (both humanistic and technical) so there are lots of jobs you can choose from after graduating.

I am already thirty-three years old. I am a physician working in California.

I went through four years of high school, four years of university (UCLA), four years of medical school, and three years of pediatric residency (also at UCLA). I have been practicing for more than three years and I have seen thousands of patients.

I am in the hospital right now. My shift is just about to end. It's been a busy day--lots of kids came in to the hospital because of asthma this week. It has been very windy lately.

This was where I went to college. And this was where I trained for residency.

I miss UCLA very much.

actually, I live in northern Wisconsin, not the UK. And yes, I know people like that, who take "advanced placement" classes (but not any who have actually moved up a whole grade.) cool.

I want to join a branch of the military, and I dont want to get shot, or move too far from home, so I chose to go to the Coast Guard Academy, it is less than an hour from my house, and they only partol the coast. I understand that it isnt 100% that I wont get shot, but it is less of a chance than for a Marine or someone in the Army.

shite, i forgot, you prolly dont know all of the US Military Branches. You Have the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps, the US Air Force, and the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is more of a localized military. they patrol the coast of the US, busting druggies, helping people at sea. Have you ever seen the movie "The Perfect Storm" The Coast Guard's job was to try and save he fishermen. That is basically the job of the Coast Guard. Their logo is "The Sheild Of Freedom"
