Don't necessarily plan for the rest of your life, but plan "what will I do next"?  -Eric H

A small business man/woman,will work 24 hours for themselves, so they don't have to work  8 hours a day for someone else.

People and problems solving skills will always serve you well.

Only worry about the things you can control.

Get a job!

Go to a teacher when you learn about something that interests you.

Have the next step in mind.  Be wary of default jobs where you stay and don't grow.

If I could go back to high school, I wouldn't worry about what other people thought.

Use this time in high school to learn how to solve a problem; there will always be opportunities to solve problems in any job you do.

Fake until you make it.

It's up to you to make the job the best you can for you.  No job is perfect. Own it and make it your own.

For totally selfish reasons, make it the best job you can.
