You should major in fluid dynamics and male anatomy. That's what all girls major in.

Well honestly, an orthodontist makes great money. In college you have to take all intro classes before doing any to do with your major. Such as Algebra, Sociology, Physcology, Biology+lab, College Writing, Literature..


Just do well on the SATs and get into a school you want to. check out www.collegeboard.com there you can do a college search and put in specifics, like do sports matter? how far away do you want to be from home.. little things.

Prepare yourself by doing well in high school, i slacked and im not at my first choice school because of that! :]

Do you mean what high school classes should you take?

I honestly don't know what you could take in high school to help you with orthodontist. For archaeologist the best I could come up with are science and history classes (if you have any that could specifically relate to archaeology anyway).

At my school we have Creative Writing, journalism and yearbook that could all go for helping you to become a better writer/author and/or magazine editor and/or publisher.

If you meant college courses then it would all depend on the college you would want to go to.

For which career would be more promising it all depends on YOU.

If you mean financially then probably orthodontist, unless you're a fantastic writer or extremely creative. Then an author or someone who works with a magazine could probably be very well off. I don't know enough about archaeology and jobs as archaologists. I'm sure you'd get to go on many cool "adventures" which would make that job awesome.

To me "promising" means a job you would most enjoy, so it really depends on your hobbies.

Also, when it coems down to school suggestions it depends on what type of major and what setting you want.
Do you want a big school, small school, rural school, big-city school, etc.? What types of extracurriculars will you be interested in, etc.
I'm a senior and have just chosen a college. It wasn't my first choice, but it suits me well.

If you could give me some specifics on the type of school you want I could probably serach for you or give you some links that would help you find your "perfect" college. I think it's great that you're getting interested in college so soon, your priorities may change over the next few years though, so you don't have to set your goal on ONE college. Pick a few that you would like.
