High schools in most states do grade on a 4.0 scale. At least they did when I went to High School a few years ago (and in all 3 states I have gone to school in). A 100 GPA scale is not the norm in the US...check wikipedia.

3.6 actually. Not that it was anything impressive...but I slept through class more often then not, so I will take what I can get.

It's the being nice afterward that confuses and frightens me.

Well, I can understand your aversion to VT. It is a beautiful state, with lots of cool places to visit, and good skiing. But it's small, not very exciting, and dominated by morons and their mind-control device equipped Priuses. They are everywhere here in MA too. And I mean EVERYWHERE. I can't go more than 2 miles without seeing another one. It's disgusting.



I'm in school for Geology. But I still really have no idea what I want to do. Dabbled in the car biz, decided that wasn't really for me, at least not on the retail end. I'm not so into the whole geology thing anymore because I don't really like the jobs that make half-way decent money in the field. I am thinking about geography instead, as there are many very high paying jobs in the field, and it's similar. I think I'm going to take a real estate program this summer, and maybe I'll get into that.

What do you like anyway? Do you want to go somewhere warm, cold, remote, urban? North Carolina is supposed to be nice. Then there is Univ. of Colorado - Boulder, which isn't too cold but is close to wheeling and skiing. California doesn't seem too awful, and Cal-Tech is a good school and apparently offers impressive financial aid. In fact, this was just on AOL tonight:

Maybe you'd consider Univ. of Alaska - Fairbanks if you really wanted to get away. Or something in Florida near the beach.

I share the extreme love of the HUMMER brand, and I've often thought it would be awesome to work for AM General or at a retail HUMMER store. But it's not in my cards right now. I have an idea for something HUMMER related, but it's a few years away.

If you want to "FOLLOW THE MONEY" then become a Doctor, Lawyer or Engineer.

Read a reports many years ago that MANY (whatever that means) people go into a different field that what their degree is in. (except Dr, Lawyer, Engineeers)

Remember also that income in different areas of the country buy a lot less or more depending...

My daughter has a degree in Journalism, worked for Scripts Howard for a while (2 years) and was making around 36k. OK, not bad but not great. The area she lived in (Stuart, FL), 36K went a long way. Now she works in Miami for a PR Firm, making 50K+, WOW, but in Miami 50K is decent but not great. Take that same job to NYC and 50K is a very very small 1 bedroom apt in a not great area of the city, go OUTSIDE (1 hour of Atlanta) and your doing dam good with 50K.

Want to make money, LEARN a second language. CHINESE, JAP, GERMAN, KOREAN, maybe THAI or SPANISH. That with a STRONG degree in International Business, International Banking, Engineering (electrical, electronic, mechnical, IT, etc) will make you good money for the HUMMERS you want to own.

OR JUST BECOME A SPORTS SUPERSTAR...

Having a goal to work in marketing for the Hummer division is fine, but being more realistic you should also focus on higher demand products.

You can't go wrong working in health care related fields and you'll probably do well enough financially to enjoy whatever vehicle you like, as much as you like. If the H2 is your favorite, you might be happier doing marketing for a medical supply company and buying one while getting involved in a local owner's club. Remember, once you make something your job, it tends to quell your desire for it somewhat.

I applaud you on thinking ahead, any high schooler that is already working on honing their career goals, is aces in my book.

Specialized Health Care for the RICH Elderly is an excellent choice...

Well thank you, sir. I have thought about the health care field. I have a buddy whose mother does work in pharmacueticals, and she just bought herself a BMW 7 series, and a new house on the lake... That's not a bad field at all! I suppose doing that, and then joining an owner's club wouldn't hurt, but then again, I really love HUMMERs!!

One of my degrees is in Marine Engineering. Lets see... I practiced in that field for, ... say ... 2 minutes

FOLLOW THE MONEY

AND

PLAY WITH YOUR HUMMERS !!!
