I can give you some advice based on my recent experiance. Growing up, I was raised working on cars. I love to fix anything and everything on a car. It was the best thing in the world. I went to school for 2 years to get my ASE (Automotive Service Exellentce) degree and a associates degree in automotive technology. While taking the classes I was doing co-op work at a dealership. At first it was fun but once I was put onto commision style pay (pay for the jobs you do) I found out I needed to find a new field. I knew mechanics didn't make a whole lot but they did make enough to live off of. Well after the first month of that I quit because for 2 weeks in a row I went to work for 60 hours a week but only made pay for 20 to 25 hours a week. I still love working on cars but as for a living, I found it was not as much fun. In other words, make sure you fully research the field you decide on and if at all possible find a local company that will let you tag along with a employee for a little bit one day so you can see how it is, how the job goes, and have a chance to talk to them and see what information they can give you about the job. Chances are, if they are in the field then it was something they probly loved to do before they started it and they can give you an idea of if its still as much fun as they thought it would be. |

Don't listen to this. Without a liberal education you will never be allowed outside of a cubicle. I've taken honors sections of 9 core curriculum classes, with 2 to go in the honors degree program. I've found it highly rewarding(and probably easier as Cypher says). They are much smaller classes where you are graded mostly based on your discussion in class--skills which will be valuable in any field you choose. Don't freak out about early high school grades. I'm pretty sure that most Universities will look at SAT and GPA first, so if you can pull it up it will be fine. In texas at least, anyone in the top 10% of their high school class is automatically accepted into any public university. If you're having trouble with algebra into your junior year, I would get a tutor and start working at it pretty hard if you want to go into any kind of engineering field. If you don't want to do a crapload of math in college and still want to work with computers, you'll get stuck in CIS(the laughing stock for us CS majors). |

Most NY colleges/uni look at your first three years of high school as it states on your transcript. On your transcript is your average of all three years, your class rank of all three years, and the extracurricular activities that you've done for all three years.
Since you're a junior, you better do well this year - especially if you want to get your grades up. Many NY colleges look at the class rank more than anything, but the SAT is also a crucial point if you want a "good" university. |
