Hey WayFast, I'm gonna have to agree with Bonzo's a post on the previous page and say that you need to focus on keeping the grades up in HS right now. I was a slacker in HS (I got by on my test taking skills but I never did any work or studying) and it took me 6 years to get my degree in architecture. Not to mention that I lost my scholarship after my second semester because I had crappy study habits and time management issues, which led me to have to pay for all of my schooling from that point on. My little bro, on the other hand, didn't do so well on his SATs but still graduated at the top of his class and now his college tuition is paid all the way through. Plus he's majoring in mechanical engineering which opens the door to all kinds of applications (including automotive). In hindsight, I would have to say that college doesn't do a whole lot to prepare you for your career (only experience will make you proficient at what you do) but it opens the doors to a lot more opportunities and much higher salaries. And, in response to your original qestions, I'm a project coordinator at an architectural firm in AC that does the design work for most of the casinos down here.
