For some reason, i assume most of the people here is either in college, or have already made college, or is planning to make some kind of career involving study.End even if probably more than 50% are computer related, i'd like to know the same First me, i guess. Went to a rare kind of highschool, it was harder than the average ones, plus you had to make 1 extra year. Good thing is, you finish there as a "técnico nacional" (technician, technic? probably there isn't an actual translation), and you have to choose at the third year between constructions, chemistry or mechanic/electricity stuff. I finished there last year, and now i'm able to build buildings of 4 stories (pretty good for someone with 19 like me at that time) all across the country.Now sadly, i'd have to work really hard to have a good life with that title, so i started architecture, i've recently finished the first year. Of course, first 3 years will be pretty easy since i know all the stuff.But as you can guess, that's not what i like to do the most. So at the same time i'm making another of those "tecnicaturas", just this time is not mixed with high, of course. "Technicature of informatic applied to digital animation and design", sounds nice. I'll finish it in 2 more years, and if i have luck i would be able to work on that for the rest of my life . . . if i'm not, there's always contruction, which is also cool Forgot to add, college is free here . . .
Finished College 3 years ago. My major is International Commerce/Business (International Economic Dynamics)with most extracurricular related to Human Studies (Sociology/Psycology/Religion/Art)Needless to say, had I followed my true calling I would have studied Graphic Design. Luckily I've surrounded myself with people who are Graphic Designers, and we have deep discussions about Design Theories
Informatics since last year. Previously Literature, but we agreed that in this country I'd have no future.Gonna quit to pursuit a carreer on drawing and shit.
I am in High School (not sure if its that on English, it is Gymnasiet on Swedish).I am not sure if I wanna go College/University after it. Maybe I will search jobs and if that fucks up I will probably go.

I'm still in my last year of High school, but I plan to go to college and learn more about computers, Graphic design and computer art, and also try to become a writer.
Left college ages ago. Did a couple of courses and worked in a shit job for a year. Currently working as a general IT tech. 6 years ago in fact i think. College was such a waste of time. And uni would have been a waste of money. $33000 for the course i wanted over 3 years. Wound up doing a diff one for $6000 in 9 months.If i was doing what i really wanted to, i'd be in 3D modeling and animation. Not good enough for a job there though. Good, just not good enough.
Finishing computer sciences after having stopped to work for about a year. gonna try to take out a few design courses afterwards for my passion of creation.Doing a small internship at an animation studio nowadays too.
I see. Here, the high schools is not like a normal school, you choose a high school that specializes on things.I go to a IT High School. So we have had Hardware classes (have not learned much though, I knew about everything that they have been teaching on the lessons), its the same in the "computer math" lessons to. I learned a neat trick on how to count on binary easier though.
When I finish my three years in high school I will be a official Network technician and Programmer.Not sure about the title though, cause I will probably take more courses, since it is free. Computer technician will probably be added.Thinking of taking the bartender course to, a friend went on it, he said it was good.
Oh also, I think Computer Sciences is the most leisure subject of study ever. Pretty much everyone who didn't study to become a teacher told me they had a fucking huge workload, and to me it sounded like we were at about 30% of that. Not just me mind you, the other cs-students as well.Anyways, studying is AWESOME. The subjects themselves are rather.. slow moving, but I can learn the interesting stuff myself without anyone saying "do more for school" or whatever, and I meet interesting people. I love it.
Currently in my second year of college, aiming for a bsc in business administration (hate it, hate it, hate it). I'm not sure what I'm going to major in next year though. I'll probably flip a coin to decide between marketing or human resources later on.
Not much of a studying person, I like the social part of it, but some subjects is just a pain, especially Swedish, it is a god damn pain in the ass. I got an F warning in Swedish A (A is easiest), but it is just because I did not make a literature analysis.Makkah: Can't be fun to do something you hate (no shit), but if you really hate it you should not do it (dunno how much money you make though, if it is a lot, maybe it is worth it). That is one of the reason I chose(+o?) a IT specialized High School, because I like using computers, includes hardware and software.
Computer science engineering, ended up with doing the work I want to which is random coding inseveral differente languages plus a bit of graphical work. the pay sucks, though.

An aptitude test weeds out those that aren't really...suited for the coarse, but even if you get a more than acceptable score if you're not the absolute cream of the crop (and if you don't have connections in most cases) you don't get in. Most other IT schools either aren't certified or are ridiculously expensive because they aren't subsidized. As a result of that, I've decided to just get this damn degree first so that when my green card comes through I can get a job to support myself then I can do what I really want.BTW, you know what subject was really hard this past semester? Advanced Communication. First of all you lose 25% of your grade if you consistently spell 3 words incorrectly. Grammar and punctuation are about 40%, and the remaining 35 is for stuff like fallacies, sources and analytical ability. Add to that the fact that some of the teachers are really unrelenting when marking and you have a coarse with the second highest failure rate in the entire university (surpassed only by whatever kind of calculus those engineering guys do).
Yeah, I was in a similar situation, except that I made it to the school twice, but the first time I sold my acceptance to another guy and took a job in the usa myself.
