What field are you in?

I'm psychic Actually, I was refering to myself since I am a Civil Engineer. I thought you were a telemarketer since your profile stated Telecommunications. I did pick up the analytical angle you used of me needing a polished turbo, and the focus and persistence of which an Engineer would have...I should know....lol

I really don't know too much about the newer engineering fields after being a Civil Engineer for 13 years, but have given some basic advice to my girlfriends son who will start in Engineering next year. A good way to investigate the various Eng fields is to speak to people who do those type jobs. Locate these people through a network of friends or acquaintances, who know people in different fields. I wish I had looked into things more myself.

I think most schools try to "weed out" many students in the first two years with 4 semesters of calculus, chemistry, etc. Take as many college-bound high school senior classes you can, and summer classes at a colllege to help you prepare for the weed-out classes. Mental toughness, persistence, and determination to succeed will take you a long ways in college also. I think it's easy to make errors in focusing on what's important (getting through college), and I know I made some mistakes myself. Some things to avoid are the party scene, the wrong crowd, long distant relationships or needy distracting girlfriends, and any other distractions that would affect your goal to finish college. Once you start college, it helps to network with other students occasionally in study groups to tackle difficult classes and assignments. Good Luck

Pick a field that makes you happy and keeps you interested. You want to be passionate about your work to succeed or it will be just a JOB.
