High School Senior here in sunny delicious Queensland. If all goes well (I passed my Cert II with flying colours) then I'll have a Certificate IV in Creative Industries by the time I leave high school, at which point some friends and I will move to Canberra to complete this:

http://www.aie.edu.au/courses/3d_animation_for_film_tv/ad_dip_screen_vfx.html

Which I will storm through because that's what everyone with a Cert IV in CI does because you'll already know half the things they teach. After that, I'll find a job working for a games company (preferably 2K or Micro Forte, which both have close links with the AIEs Canberra campus).

And if somewhere along the line, that fails, I have Maths, Physics and Engineering to lead me to an Apprenticeship, University Qualification or OP 3-10 Career.

And failing that, I have English in case I ever want to move to Europe and become a hippy.

I am currently a second year student doing Japanese Studies at the University of Manchester, currently famous for its work on Graphene, the "miracle material" of the 21st century, showing great promise of becoming the most important material of the future, rivalling silicone in importance :3

I'm currently a student at York University (North Yorkshire, England), and studying English Literature. The plan is to go on to do post-grad courses abroad, preferably in America, before lecturing, but in case that falls through I'm keeping my hand in journalism, creative writing and music as well.

Macquarie University, Bachelor of Arts in Ancient History.

Only you can't get a job with that, so:

Ultimo TAFE, Diploma of Library and Information Services

Only you can't get a job with that, so currently studying:

Hornsby TAFE, Cert III in Information and Communications Technology.

...

Cost me $53 for my ICT course, something similar for my Library course (in that I'm unemployed, something like $360 otherwise), and my university degree will cost me a few thousand dollars, but only once I get a job paying above a certain amount.

I'm probably going to either the University of Northern Iowa or Wartburg College. I'm not sure what I want to do yet though.

Currently studying Chemistry at Reading, England. So far, pretty good, but carbonyl chemistry is a major pain in the arse.
What?! Why?! Carbonyl chemistry is one of the cornerstones of organic synthesis after all!

OT: Imperial College London Dept Chem (class of 2009)

I'm about to start my second year at the University of Western Australia doing a Bachelor of Science. I'm enjoying it so far, although my low grades in first year was a bit of a kick up the arse. At high school, I did no study outside of class and graduated in the top 5% of the state. It seems University won't be quite as easy.
