Hey,
I am 15 at the moment and it won't be long before I have to search for a college and get on with life and stand up for myself, I've seen a lot of successful and experienced people around here at GeeksToGo and I just wanted to ask you if you guys could give me any handy career making tips or tips for going into the area I wish to, you know like the mistakes you made and how I can avoid them and basically be successful.
What I Aspire
Well, I have lofty dreams and sky scraping goals I want to basically be a Developer (Web + Native), I plan on being an entrepreneur I have ideas for creating phone operating system and a media sharing web + native app.
What i have done is viewed many tutorials from various blogs learning the basics of JavaScript, C ,C# I know HTML and CSS well enough, and my dream university is Harvard.
So could you recommend some stuff which I should be doing for having better chances of fulfilling my dreams links to tutorials or names of books or general tips would help me a lot.
Hacking and Malware also interest me, Im enrolled in GeekU so I am learning about malware but i fancy learning the trade of an ethical hacker, any tips and preparation guides would be priceless.
Some Questions
1.) I believe I have picked the right language to start with but for doing the above what other things do you think I need to learn?
2.) What is the exact degree which would teach me all the above?
3.) How many hours did you study in a day?
4.) What are the advantages of a career in IT?
5.) Does it pay well?
Thanks in advanced,
(Read name from top left of this box)
