Yes, you'll have to get a few basic requirements out of the way, but then your courses are based on what you'd like to learn. So start to pay attention to what school subjects you enjoy.
- Do you read extra pages in your history book?
- Do you read websites about new technology?
- Do you finish chapters and books before they're assigned in class?
- Are you fascinated by earthquakes?
- Do you enjoy cooking and learning new recipes?
- Are you interested in how a car or train works?
Where you enjoy spending your time is usually a great place to start when thinking about what you'd like to study at college!
My name is Jill, and I studied advertising and sociology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. When I was in middle school and high school, I enjoyed drawing, writing and playing sports. Other careers I considered: architect, graphic designer, magazine editor.
