Hi. My name is Kevin. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry, I just can't find a place to post this. I thought maybe posting it in the feedback section (I don't want to be off topic), but changed my mind. It's kind of off-topic.
Let me say that my grandpa was a physicst, and is now retired. He invests in the stock market, and it has made him a millionaire in the past. He is very senstive with money, and very strange about money (to my parents). He likes to conserve it.
He told me to save 10% of everything I make. Starting at age 17, I could have a million dollars when I retire.
I am a senior right now, however not currently in school because I graduated from a charter school early (from 11th grade). A charter school is a non traditional school that uses computers to learn, and is less longer than a traditional school. I'm afraid of going to a charter school because I'm afraid my diploma will not count. The school says otherwise, of course.
Here are some jobs that I'd like to pursue:
1) Being a pilot. Possibly having corrective eye surgery (My vision isn't 20/20, but its not bad enough for glasses) so I can fly in the airforce or navy in a jet.
2) Being a pilot in a commerial airplane
3) Being a surgeon
4) Being a plastic surgeon
5) Being a physicst (Sorry, can't spell it)
6) Working in an, uhm, coin store.
7) Being a video game designer
Please help me with my decision. I'm good at math but I don't ENJOY it. I can't understand how anyone can.I realize its fun and interesting to learn its connetions with real life material, but I don't find it fun. I feel like going to be a physisst just for bragging rights of being smart rather than going in for the joy of math. I can't do calculus yet. Calculus is very abstract and difficult, and I know I'm going to have to eventually get a grasp on it.
I don't know what to do. I guess ultimately its up to me, however I'm suicidal and have depression. I'm sure the military won't accept a suicidal man. I've been hospitalised 2 times. Sometimes I want to go through boot camp to go to iraq but then I realize that they check your records before you get deployed, so it would be a nightmare to have to go through all the bootcamp and in the end never get to go to iraq.
Please don't say to call 911, get help, etc. I've done that. I have conseling, I take medicine. Nothing helps.
However before I die, I want to have a degree. And that's what I'm trying to figure out. What I want a degree in.
:sigh:
Thank you for the help
