Hi, I'm a grade 12 high school student who is planning on a post-secondary education in a Math or Science field (after another year of high school). I'm not exactly great at the stuff, I just don't want a job where I have to deal with too many people all day. :P
I'm a decent student, my grades seem to average around 80%, the exception being my 50's in English (because I don't go) and my 95%+ in Programming and Comm Tech (Comm Tech is the course where you waste 75 minutes/day making Flash animations). All my Math marks seem to hover around 75-80% and my Science marks seem to fall into the 80-85% range.
To say that I am motivated would be, well, a damn lie. I don't do homework and I only briefly review for tests, but I manage my somewhat decent marks.
My only real hobby is making little web-games and sites (esp. in Flash), but I don't have the art skills to go into design and I probably don't have what it takes to be a real programmer.
Although I have been bombarded with "You should go into Engineering" by parents, friends, etc., I'm not exactly sure of which path I would like to travel, in terms of education.
I was hoping that all you college/university students could let me in on what your majors are and what they entail, or what course you think someone like me would do well in. I would also like to know if an 80% average would cut it to get into the programs, or if I'm f*cked. I don't care if it is a 2-year College setup or if I'd be spending 7 years rotting in University, whether it's a well-known field or some unheard-of major, I just want information on my options.
Thanks in advance,
Jeebuz
