Where do you want to be? Everything so far tells me you want to write web apps for someone else. Nothing wrong with that, but personally I hate it. You are not me though, I could tell you the things you need to learn to be just like me, but you might hate the work I do. The good news: you don't need to decide yet. You are 14 which means nobody will expect you be more than a rank beginner for the next 8 years or more! Take your time now to explore things to see what you like. Get an aurduino kit and make LEDs flash, advancing to running motors. Try some chemistry (I have no clue how to get into this - figure it out). Learn to play piano. Write a bad novel. The point of all this is to taste your options. When you are 17 you need to decide what college to go to (this is partially a matter of who will let you in). Over the next 3 years you need to make sure you know where you want to go well enough that your college choice can get you there, the details can come latter. Even when you are college you have a few years before you have to commit to a major, the first 2 years of computer science are mostly the same as the first 2 years of mechanical engineering or physics. The point of all this is to see what you like and what door open. If you like the electrical engineering professors that is a sign to go that way. Don't forget to look at the charts of what various professions make once in a while. When you like two things - pay is a powerful factor to change direction. |
