I am going to be dead honest.
It's a community college, and the courses I just finished with all As were MAT 121, Psych 101 and American History 101. I couldn't afford anymore creds but now I just have been approved for government aid to pay for the maximum 12 credits the government will pay for next semester. Then I'm getting into a 4-year set of courses for an AS (associate of science or whatever) in Computer Science, then I will transfer to a University to get a BS in Software Engineering-Mathematics.
Then I'll see if I can get decent work in computer technology, then when I feel comfortable enough with that career I'll go back and get a Doctorate in Neuroscience.
I graduated HS in 2011 with a diploma before reluctantly going back to community college to appease my parents, which I rage quit all my courses the first semester with Ws (and an A in college 101 of course) after I graduated, but I blame Geodon for inquisitively and correctly doubting the education system - I have no one to blame but myself for quitting just because I didn't like it. Worked for a well-paying Moving Company for 2 years afterward. Liked the job, even got a good position as an installer's apprentice, but I rage quit that too because I wanted to be one of those well-set home owners I broke my back for for 2 years. I'm 20 now but old age doesn't really matter much anymore, at least not for science jobs.
Despite the active work and the colorful personalities in that moving company, I couldn't stand the fact that I had to work all hours of the day, the fact that hours were not consistent (especially in the winters) and the fact that the lack of sleep, inability to regularly eat good food, etc was messing with my hypo-thalamus pituitary gland. But I was off my anti-psychotic those two years and reduced my BMI quite a bit regardless.
Astner, whatever I've done so far isn't even a gauge of my analytic intelligence. I might not have a lot practical intelligence, but the combination of creative and analytic intelligence is a force to be reckoned with in the modern world.
What's more is that conventional education doesn't require much creative intelligence as it should, especially not on this level - one I consider to be the most important of all.

I think you are planning a bit too far ahead, although it can be fun to think about what might be, surely you don't have enough information about that far in the future yet. Good luck though, and congrats.

I remember when I was just out of high school. It's too bad that when I knew it all I didn't do anything before self awareness kicked in along with realityit was too late. I could have been an astronaut, a pop star, or the next Duke of New York (after Isaac Hayes, of course). Das tut mir leid.
Also, lol @ "hypo-thalamus pituitary gland". I'd hate to get it confused with the anterior supralateral pituitary or the inferior maximus decimus pituitary for sure.
