    I will go and study Automotive Engineering this year. However our school system is quite a bit different It is basically a three schol system. Primary school,High school,other education. I am now progressing to the thirdlevel after i passed high school on the most difficult level you can do in this country. If i understand it correctly I already have a higher level then college at the moment.

    I'm currently working as an Assistant Manager at a big retailer (about $35 - 40k/year, depends on the amount of hours that you do). Getting your own store takes a couple of years of hard work, but the salary of a Store Manager is pretty damn good and includes a fat bonus.

    The work is tough though, and I have to be available 24/7. I work on holidays, weekends, etc.

    Whether you make it in this area or not, at least one thing is for sure... You will become a very strong person. Management skills have affected my life a lot during these past 7 months. On one side you have to be courteous and with a lot of patience when taking care of customers' problems, and on the other hand, you have to be extremely tough when dealing with your employees. I have about 30 under my command, all of them making $7-$9 bucks an hour... at that rate nobody is willing to work hard, but you have to find ways to have them do so.

    You also get to deal with vendors, inventory, finances, displays within the store, etc.

    It's been really interesting and a great experience... Anybody who's looking into setting up their own business should definitely have experience in this area.

    I'm actually in High School Intellectual Studies, basically, I pretend I'm 15 years old and go to high school everyday instead of college. Then in 3 years I go and act like a college student. It's really an interesting major.

    I'm in my second year of college, and I'm undecided as to what I'm going to major in. I'm taking all kinds of different classes (chemistry, history, archaeology, literature, etc.). There is one major I've been considering, but I'd have to transfer to Virginia Tech, as I don't think it's offered at UVA.
