Ok, it's almost 12:30, so I'll make this short and simple.

I'm a Junior in high school, and I still haven't made any decisions about my future yet (concerning education after highschool).

I don't plan to get a job after college, following Steve's example. I plan to make money by selling artwork and generating royalty income from creative work. Maybe start a website/blog and make money from advertisements/affiliations. It's all very vague, but I'm just looking for an adventure. I don't want to get a boring job and expect to work every day with no sense of improvement. Instead, I want to generate multiple streams of income like Steve and work upwards, instead of staying at a constant income.

In that case, what should my major be?
I have been studying for the PSAT/SAT so far, and though I might not get national merit, I can still make a score higher than 2000 in the SAT if I study enough, so I can aim for a good college.

I want to develop my skills on my own, and I'm not even sure what good going to college would do. I just might as well, because I believe it would make my future easier. (If any of you believe that this is part of social conditioning and that it wouldn't, feel free to tell me your opinion.)

I am mainly interested in creation. I like to make things, but only certain types of things. My skills are still very shallow, but I plan to develop them over time. The hardest part will be to find motivation and to keep my mind and my intentions clear. I like to make artwork, but I'm not good enough to generate any monetary value from it yet. If in the future I get good enough, I want to sell commissions, and offer my services to people who want certain types of my art. If you have any other ideas on how to make money using art, please tell me. (I don't want a job as a teacher.)

I also like to make websites, and I do that well. I just can't blog. I am not good at writing at all, and it is difficult for me to keep my mind clear while writing, so my message sometimes does not get through.

I also have a hard time working for a long time on certain projects. For example, when I draw, I rush. I have just started to learn to pace myself and stretch my drawing time so each drawing will take a few hours, but I still rush, and a lot of flaws result from that. I am just an impatient person that wants results as soon as possible, so pacing myself while working can be a problem.

And my last possibility as a stream of income would be to build custom computers and to sell them to people. This is mainly because I am building one myself, for the first time! The parts arrive in a week, and I am anxious and hoping that none of the parts are defective and that I can build the computer without breaking anything. Wish/manifest me the luck, please?

With all that said, what advice can you guys offer me? I am 16 years old, and I'm just getting ready to map out my future.

Wow, this was a bit longer than I thought.
