Like most people here, I absolutely love computers (mine especially), and I love them so much that I was hoping to make a career out of them. Being that technology is on the rise, as well as the job market for computer related jobs, I thought "what the hell, I could do this". I'm currently in high school, and I'm starting my future early. I've been looking at colleges and careers, and I know it's quite a reach but I want to go to MIT. I know I sound crazy, but hey, I'm in the top 10% in the country at my age, so maybe it's a possibility. I want to be a computer technology developer. I look at the latest discoveries of technology in the world, and I notice that all the actually noteworthy discoveries are being made in Asia. (Damn smart asses). I find myself thinking, damn I could do better, and that's what I want to do. I want to make technological break through's in relation to computers. So I guess what my question is, is what can I do now to prepare, and if anyone was in that line of work, what tips do you have for me?
Thanks, M.
