My Life & The Future

[FeCoola]

First of all I've never done drugs.

It's weird all of a sudden I've just stop caring about things that don't interest me, but are important. For instance School for one I'm making A's B's and one C. The first C of my whole life. In a class I typically am very good at. Algebra II. I'm a sophomore in high school with a GPA of 4.5 (weighted). I've felt like it's a waste of time to things I'll never use / want to use again like Biology.

I've convinced myself to only pay attention to things that interest me. Computers, Stocks, Coding, and Entrepreneurial Ideas.

My dream school would be Stanford, but I don't have the perseverance to make it. I think now my school of choice is Carnegie Mellon.

What do you guys think I should do. Continue being creative and making money or continue with my schooling and study my passion computer Science at my school of choice. Either way they will both lead to money, but the Schooling will require much more of a delay.

There's a number of factors you'd need to take into account. First of all, make sure whatever you end up doing is a combination of what you want to be doing but make sure it brings in income. Especially if you're looking to have a family in the future, balance of a job and family will be a bitch, but balancing family and a job that doesn't bring in income therefor causing more problems in life will be even more difficult to deal with. I'm only 18 but I've seen numerous of my friend's parent's relationships fall through over stupidities like that. I know it's weird to think about now but that's my thoughts on the situation. And regardless of anything try your best in school, whether you like the subject or not, every grade/mark counts.

Unfortunately you have to complete classes that you have no interest in while in high school.

Just focus on getting through the classes that you're obligated to take until you're finished with high school and can move onto taking courses for a career you love.
