I am going online for my senior year of high school so that I can focus on taking classes on things that I want to learn about, and that will actually benefit my career. I plan on doing several apprenticeships and job shadowing. I am only 17 years old but I feel as though all of my peers have their lives figured out. I know that I want to work with my hands, I really love machines and learning about them, and I DO NOT want to spend my whole career sitting behind a screen. there are several different paths I can see myself taking. One, the trades route, where I would go into specified welding and machining work. Or, I take the engineering route. this would include a LOT of college and hopefully result in going into aerospace engineering. I guess I just want more clarity on what I should do from this point on. Just advice in general would be great :)?
