you said you like speech. language....

My aunt did as well... ever consider being something like a speech pathologist, or even working with the handicaped... say teaching young children signlanguage and bringing an interest to the written word to thier hearts?

granted these jobs may not make you rich, but can money realy make you rich? i would consider them very fulfilling and rewarding jobs

an interpreteur? (if you like languages i mean).

Learn Law and Languages.... LEGAL INTERPRETEURS earn A LOT OF MONEY. And all you are doing is translating what the judge saying.
You only need to know the ground work of law in order to do that.



If you are going to get into the IT Game, make sure you have some skills that make you stand out from the rest. Any Tom, D!ck and Harry can be a computer techie now days, and the market is flooded with people that "Know how to fix a computer".
One of the reason why I specialised in MYOB / QUICKEN and POINT OF SALES.

I guess computer engineering sounds good but what is it exactly,and I guess math and physics are good subjects and I am OK at them, engineering, architect, how about those?

To clarify, if you had a physics or a math degree, you're job will most probably be aiding any one of a number of fields: computers, any type of engineering, business (more math orientated), health care, crime investigations, and many more. In most cases, you will be given a problem or a project for you to accomplish due to your 'specialization' in the field of physics or math.

As for computer engineering, alot of the degrees take five years (much like building architecture). In the work force, you would be doing things like computer architecture for computer circuits, motherboards, printers, and even for smaller things like printers, dvd players, tvs, and remotes.

computer engineering depending on how you specialize your studies can lead you in any direction you want, designing the pieces of computers and networking hardware and developement to large scale instalation and management. anything "general" with computers will not do you much good with the exception of extra knowlege. if you want to be assured of a job, and make good money you must know one aspect of computers better than everyone else. be it cables, designing hardware, programing in a specific code, configuration of very dificult/powerful networking hardware, specific type of servers... ect. the list goes on and on and on... me, personally i am any Tom, **** and Harry. and it took me a year and a half to find a full time job with benefits.

man, nobody can tell ya what to do, and we can suggest anything under the sun...

the best advise i can give is play around a bit, try this or that, see what you're good at, what you've got a knack for, and what seems fun to you!!

good luck!!
