Have you thought about being a nurse? I'm 35 and am going back to school to do just that. You're very smart to already be thinking about your future career. Most nursing programs are about two years. You will need additional college courses, but you may be able to complete all of it in 3. Pay is good, hours flexible, you can become a traveling nurse and work in Hawaii for three months or New York for a year and have your housing paid.
Good luck!

GRADUATION! I believe you should go to college and graduate from college early too. Apply yourself now you are young advantage. Use this to your advantage and do not waste anytime wondering around with small jobs. First enroll, and apply for grants, etc. The college of your choice will send you applications or you can attend Cal State Dominques, Southwest etc. and change to a University. Going to school now can be fun, learning, challenging, you might get a job on campus too. Since you so young some colleges offer Summer Bridge? You can fly there for 2 weeks see what college is like no mark and have that experience. Los Angeles Trade Tech is a good school. Find yourself, think about what you really love doing and make good money too. Insurance Agent Real Estate Agent, Loan Officer, Brooker License, Accountant, Working with children and aging. The door is open you just need to walk right in. God Bless you make the right decision.

A good start is to take your basic courses in college. Everyone that wants a degree must have these types of courses. These would include Freshman Composition, Intermediate College Algebra or a higher math, a history course, probably speech, a humanities course such as an art, music, language, or religion course, a course in psychology might be useful. Basics are English, math, history, humanities, etc...these are a good place to start for your first semester in college. By taking these courses your first semester, it would give you more time to figure out what you want to do. Maybe by talking to people, and some time...you can decide what you want to do. Just know that many people change their major in college many times before they graduate. So, start with the basics. Talk to your counselor at the college of your choice. Technology and medical fields are good areas to get a degree in. Computer, engineering, nursing...these are good job fields. These are offered in 2 or 4 year degrees. You can start with a 2 year degree, but it's best to go onto at least to a 4 year degree. You're already ahead of the gang since you graduated early. Fill out an admissions application to the college of your choice, talk to the college advisor, enroll in some basic courses that will be needed for most any degree. You'll be fine, and you're off to a great start!

I graduated from high school at 16, too. I took a few basic classes at my local community college (part time) and worked part time. I was still living at home, so I was able to save a lot of money. I did that for a year, then transfered to a four-year college to finish my degree. It worked out really well!

Well first off you should have started LOOKING at colleges BEFORE you graduated and should have had your counselor help you. College is nothing more than learning more about what you like to do in life...you like math, be a math major...you like crafts, be an art major...like police..take law enforcement..you like sports...take phys ed.
You'll have to ask at the college you go to about career options, not all colleges are alike....and colleges differ from state to state.
So ask or contact your local colleges or go to the library and do some research. Yahoo can't help you do that...You have to grow up now and do things for yourself.
Good luck !!!

4 year colleges are a must, they put ou ahead of the rest of the population. Luckily, becasue you finished highschool ahead of time you will be looked at specially and also you will have the time to figure out what you want to do, expecially earn some money ahead of time.
I can't get into details, but this is a must: 4 yr college.
