I may not be well known yet, but some of you are familiar with me. I am somewhat facing a challenge in my life:
I am a student in Job Corps. I am studying Business, and am doing quite well with it. My teacher says that I have really high aptitude for it. On the other hand, I love science. I really want to study biology or paleontology at Montana U.
My counselor tells me that I can do anything with my level of intelligence (got a 98% on the ASVAB; he also says that I could write my ticket into the military, but I know I couldn't handle boot camp). I have tried University before, but I hadn't worked at all back then, so I crapped out on my homework. I know how to work now, though, having held a 40-50 hour job for 2 months, twice.
My choice is this: The path of the business man for profit, or the path of the scholar for interest. Knowing that you people are intelligent, I humbly ask for advice (since I can no longer rely on prayer).
