I am interested in an active job. What is a good way to get into it?

I prefer not to be cramped inside an office space, so what is a good job where you do things such as running around or exploring? Also, are there any recommended class(es) I should take?

Why are students pushed to enroll in 4-year colleges right out of high school?

Is it simply a recommendation or is there another underlying reason, as opposed to applying to a community college? #college-selection

Is it true that a person's major/degree doesn't necessarily set one up for a career in that field?

If I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, for example, but over time find a new branch of engineering that is more appealing, would having that degree be a waste? #mechanical-engineering

Is there a fair advantage of people that go to lower income schools than others that go to better schools? and also does going to a private high school give you a greater chance to bing better at school than others that go to a public school?

I live in San Leandro in the bay area and my school campus is so old compared to others schools. Other schools have such great campus and a better environment. Also I have great goals I want to achieve and I want to know what is best for me.
