Hey all!

I have just finished a course in Calc II and have started a course in multivariate calculus. Is this right course I should have taken? Also, what does a typical order for math look like? I am in my last semester of high school; so far my career in math looks like this:
MiddleSchool:
Pre-algebra,

Highschool:
Geometry
Algebra 2 / Trig
Pre-Calculus
Calculus I
Calculus II
Elementary Multivariate Calculus

College:
What should go here?

I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
