Hercules, California

Hello all! Recently, my professor asked me if I've ever considered a career in academia after reading one of my essays... which made me wonder what academia is and what the experience is like (beyond getting a PhD). I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, I like computer engineering...

I want to do something in technology, but I am still unsure of what I can do specifically.

I wan to ask about what job right now that is out there which is related to computer science and how is computer science looking right now in the world. Will it be replaced in any time soon?

I'm a junior in Galileo High School. After dedicating my time at school learning and studying the materials. Besides studying, how can I get some hands on work outside of school?

I struggle with standardized testing. Many of my classmates and students my age are taking the SAT. If I consider going test optional, will that lower my chances to getting into my dream colleges(UCs)?

I still don't know what major to take

I am a junior in high school and plan on taking AP Calc b/c and AP Statistics next year.

I am junior in high school. I plan to take some courses at the City college.
