Re: [DIYbio] Re: Things to do as a High School Student

Depends on who you are and what you want. High school is a well-rounded education for some people... a sorely lacking education for others. Read everything you can on the internet and if you have a strong motivation to do so... as soon as you can get some money start putting together some projects.

I feel like that's not the answer. High school provides me with a relatively well rounded education, at a much lower cost than paying to take classes at a university. Now, if I were in the next city down, I would feel different. The school there subsidizes fees for college classes. But my district does not. Also, due to my schedule, taking courses like that would basically eliminate any chance of sleep, as well as cost money that isn't exactly plentiful at the moment.

I'm interested in synthetic biology, and feel like I would probably pursue it later in life, in college most likely (major in BioEng, probably).

Start by dropping out of high school and going straight to college.

And I would add, that probably means "take classes at a college", not "go through some overpriced degree mill program". But swinging it either way is much better than HS value.
