For those of us who aren't already past that point.

I really have no clue at all.

Hmm, I'm horrible at school.

I know a lot about government, history, and economics, but there's nothing I can really do with that knowledge. And I'm decent with web development, including a fair bit of programming, but that's hardly career material.

I'm glad someone else is (sort of) in my position, though.

Well, the problem there is that my grades suck too much to be a teacher of any kind.

philip, why do your grades suck.  you seem plenty smart enough to do well in school or college.

your best bet would be to go to law school.  you are pretty interested in constitutional issues.

No. Remember, the kinds of things we discuss on this forum are not the kinds of things school usually deals with.

A good example is Biology. I was bored out of my mind, and had no clue what I was doing. I only made it through that class by copying off of other people's papers.

In English, I always had to write stuff about vague topics I didn't understand. What's especially annoying is when they make you write about personal stuff. I don't think I even turned 20% of the things I was supposed to in.

In order to get a decent diploma or whatever it's called, you had to take three years of a language. I chose Spanish, and simply could not pick up on the grammar at all, or even a lot of the words. I had to re-take Spanish 1, and managed to barely pass. I failed Spanish 2 horribly.

And I hate Math. I was okay in Algebra, but couldn't grasp Geometry to any significant degree.

There's no way I could get into law school with my grades.

Philip?

Ever consider going into economics?

Econ professors, at least at my school, make pretty good money...and as for the quality of their teaching...I think you'd be okay...you put yourself down a tad too much in that department.

Just don't talk about how Wilt Chamberlain caused a complete change in basketball foul line rules for 35 minutes and you'll be golden.

I hate speaking in front of people.
