    So, anyone know what they're doing after school? I know some people here are still 14 and stuff, but I'll ask everyone anyway.

    I'm going to Auckland University (in the top 50 unis in the world, it's pretty snazzy) to do engineering. That's why I want to move to the US, so I could work at NASA, I think that would be really interesting. Kind of need to pick up my grades in uni though, my high school grades are pretty crap, I'm only just scraping my way into uni.

    What about YOU?

    I'd like to pursue a career in political science. Maybe in an embassy or as a linguist. Not a desk job.

    Not sure what college I want to go to yet--basically whoever I can get a scholarship from. (Edited to clarify...I don't mean an athletic scholarship. No college gives athletic scholarships to people my speed, unless they need a mascot)

    I'm going to drop a minute off my mile time and get a full ride to college and then when I wake up I'll probably go to college for something in the medical field or web design field.

    either a anesthesiologist, internist, or a pharmacist.

    University of Michigan, or Cornell, or maybe somewhere else, I really don't know.

    So you are going to be running a sub 3:50 mile by the end of highschool? Good Luck with that...

    Either a sports-med doctor (or something that specializes in that) or P.A OR something that works with animals, like a vet. But I'd like to take care of bigger animals like those in the zoo, not sure what that job title is.

    I'm either going to UW or WSU. Doubt anything out of state.

    Why do you need to even go to college with a 3:42 mile, you can make a living off running...barely

    I'm going to Robert Morris University where I'll be majoring in business administration with a concentration in sports. From there I will follow my intended major and continue my interest in investing. I hope to get into retail and own a business on the side. I will run in college, but I'd never make it a career.

    UW - Oshkosh to major in computer science and maybe minor in math. It's hard to tell which career I will go into at this point because computer science is a really broad field. I'll just go with the flow.

    Going to Dalhousie University, taking classics and/or history, and then going on to law school, or possibly becoming a proffessor.
