Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I don't know when I'll do it, but sometime during college or in between years or after, I'd like to go on a Peace Corps trip or spend a year teaching school in some country, or doing medicine. Maybe even technology.

I'll be honest, and say that I think that the knowledge I've gained the past few years will be worth more to me and others if I make a point to give it out, rather than if I spend my whole life seeking a degree, and a job.

I plan on going to a Indiana college and becoming an Advertising consultant. Then, I want to move to Oak Brook, IL and be a ad rep. for Mc Donalds. Since I would be in Wildstang's general area, maybe I could be on their team some how. :rolleyes: For sure though, I will move to a town with a FIRST team, and do what I can for whatever team that may be. I would really love to stay here with 45, but there isn't a huge demand for ad people here. :( I'm starting to think I have my future a little too planned. :p

Go to medical school in India.
Come back here and become a doctor and become the first FIRST paramedic.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I was just wondering.
Why India?

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

FIRST has paramedics? I thought they had normal city EMT people.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

notice it says "first FIRST Paramedic";)

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

Becuase its cheaper and I can finish in half the time that it would take me if I do it here.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

As of now.. still undecided.

But.. I saw a quote yesterday which fits this question perfectly.

Yeah... Anywho...

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

:D

for the most part, i've got my entire life planned out.

i'm not sure which college i'm going to yet (before i went to the Denver Regional i was just considering taking advantage of the Bright Futures Scholarship and my IB Diploma (that i have yet to get) and going to college somewhere in Florida, but when i went to the University of Colorado i fell in love with it there... i even got to talkto the Dean of Education and he mentioned something very important in regards to the profession i wish to ultimately have.. so now i am seriously considering going to school there...) but i know i want to have a Dual Major. In English Literature and Physics (not sure if it will be AstroPhysics or Quantum Physics or Pure Physics or what yet.. i'll figure it out then) i'm sure you all think i'm crazy for having a dual major in two completely opposite subjects, but dont even get me started on my Minors. :) anyways, i wish to aspire to become an Author... probably a science fiction/fantasy author. but also, i want to become an Astronaut, and eventually, I WANT TO GO TO MARS! i want to find Dave's Other Car in a rusty crater one day while randomly exploring. (do you have any idea how cool that would be?!) yes i am ambitious. i need to go to the Moon first, and then by the time i'm 40 or something, i'll be on my way to Mars. (how exciting!) and then if/when i get back to Earth, i'll write books, tons and tons of books, and become a teacher maybe eventually... and if i feel the need, maybe i'll even run for President. yes okay, i'm ambitious. but hey, a girl can dream, cant she? without ambition to drive someone, they arent going to go anywhere, are they?

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I am going to attend DelTech right here in Delaware.
I am going to be studying
1. EMT/Paramedic
2.Nursing
3.Fire safety
I am also going to Fire school to be part of Minquis Fire station 23 to become a paid fire fighter/Paramedic. I am also going to be a nurse, I hope, but the Paramedic/ fire fighter is my main goal.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

After high school, I wish to go to a local community college or EMU to get a degree somewhere in computer science. Most likely I'll become a programmer or CAD operator or both. (now imagine this situation, you know how to program and use a CAD system like AutoCAD or even better, Inventor. Oh the magic that can be made.) Personally, I like to design things more than anything. I was leaning into programming, but then I thought about it and CAD was a better, more fun of an option, and then I thought if I ever want to tweak the system I should know programming.

I'll keep on thinking about it for now. :cool:

Recently though I have been thinking politics. How it ever got into the pool of future possibilities I don't know, but it's something that I haven't thought about in about 4 years. I'll just have to wait and see what happens to influence my future.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I'm going to college next year, majoring in Computer Science. During which time I shall continue to help FIRST in any way I can through the internet. And I shall start my company as well, probably later this year, when I am over 18, it will be some kind of software company, not sure what yet, I like programming everything (O.S., Games, Internet, Utilities, Mathematical, etc...)

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

Right now I'm debating between pursuing Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering in college. Haven't decided on a school yet but I have it narrowed down...sort of...not really. So many Colleges and University to pick from and then you have to worry about your grades and ACT scores(just took my first one and was relieved that all the studying I had crammed in the 2 days before had helped make the test seem like no big deal, which helped me to relax and get the questions right). Anyone else get anything from Olin college? I got stuff from them and it seems like a very interesting and unique school, which would be very hard to get into. And they offer FIRST scholarships :)

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

If you had asked me that a year ago, I'd tell you that I had no idea, but now I can tell you everything that I want to do after HS.

Summer '05 - I hope to go sailing with Brigantine Company again on Lake Ontario, so much fun.
Fall '05 -> Spring '09 - 4 grueling years of college where I'll major in CS.
After college - attend graduate school with hopes of getting a Ph.D. in EE.
After that - get a job somewhere, preferably industry and not research.

But nothing is for certain. This is just how I imagined my next ~10 years to be like. But hey, anything could happen, hell I may even decide to become a singer during all of this.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I had no idea what I wanted to do after high school while I was still there. I did know that I did not want to take Calculus. So I went to a local community college and putzed around, worked, school, FIRST. Then I took some EMS classes and got my EMT-B. Volunteered at Sterling Rescue and I loved it, but wanted to know more. I'm currently in search of a nursing school to attend, get my BSN, then spend some time with the Navy or Air Force as a peds emergency nurse.

I am having a difficult time of it though. While putzing around at NVCC, I didn't really care, and my GPA suffered greatly because of that. Nursing school is getting tougher and tougher to get into, and a GPA is really hard to raise once you blow it. Lessons learned. :(

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

I'm going to head to college (most likely Eastern Michigan University...it's about 10 minutes away from where I live), and major in something along the lines of English literature, and either minor or double major in buisiness. After that I plan to go to law school, and then hopefully go into corporate law.

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

Right now I have no clue, well i have a few options open. I want to be a cpl things:
-Design Engineer
-Owner of a multimillion $ company (why make billions when you can make millions :D )
-Fashion Designer

I really have no clue, and it seems like engineer and fashion designer contradict sooo much. lol. i mean, from one end of the spectrum to the other. But I think I'll be an engineer who secretly wants to be a fashion designer. That works too. I'm really good with computers and math. However, I like colors and fashion (rhinestones!!!!!!!!!) . GRRRRRRrrrrrrrr.... being multitalented. lol. well, atleast it's not i have little talent n i want to do a lot of things. Ok, so here's how my life will go if I decide to become an engineer who secretly wants to be a fashion designer:

Once I finish college, and run a little fashion line called Viji on the side, I'll go off to Danbury, CT where I'll search for a job n get payed lots n lots of $$$. They recognize I have talent and there's promotions galore! Meanwhile, I get phone calls from Milan saying they want to use my clothing and handbags b/c they're short designers. I refuse, saying my job comes 1st. well... my engineering job comes 1st, and I tell that to my boss who says good job. you're setting an example for the rest of team. n i get more promotions until i become CEO n decide that everything must change in order to be aesthetic and upgraded. lol. There will be no engineer who's tie doesnt match his shirt. The meetings rooms would be very nice, and perhaps a little pink... n studded with rhinestones.... and Milan is begging for my line so I give into peer pressure and give it to them where I become the fashion icon in Vogue and ppl recognize me worldwide as one of the top powerful people in the universe!!! Ego galore!!! :D :D :D

Re: What do you plan to do after highschool?
 

If I make it into Olin I would love Olin. However, just to give you a note on the scholarship thing to clarify: Olin has very very small graduating classes, they don't plan to have any more than 650 or so per class. They pay everything for you. Essentially free tuition and everything for all 4 years. Very good deal. I know they pay full tuition, but not totally sure about room board and other stuff like that.

They've sent me stuff too, the program sounds great.
