College, Career Path, Home School, HELP!?

Hello, First let me say thanks for viewing this. I have a few questions. I hope you don't mind. I was home schooled, but I have done all current curriculum for K-12. I'm 16 and will be starting college in or after march. (I turn 17 in march!) I have a few job choices in mind, but have been tempted to ask this question for awhile now.

*What Career Path should I follow? I have compiled a list of things I like, and/or Jobs that I have been looking into.

**I like Art(Looking and Making), Music, History, Myths and Legends, Traveling (I really want my job to do this), Digging, Photography, The Human Mind, Weapons and Objects, Reading, PC, Tech, Internet (I use it for fun but lots of my fun is using Wiki :P), Local.Live.Com, Risks, Testing Myself, and before someone says teacher ... I am not good at teaching much. Need more information just ask.

**Career Paths I'm currently looking at Archeology, Photography, Information Technology, and Drafting and Design.

*Now, As I said earlier. I was Home Schooled. So I need a college that accepts home scholars. Can any give me information on a good college that accepts home scholars. That either has on of the above fields or The one you suggest.

*Finally, Is there any hints and tips you can give me about how to make it through college alive? Like what kind of stuff do I really need to relook at before going.

Please and Thank You,
William

1) Anthropology and/or Archeology; both will allow you to do research around the world, as well as involve multiple interests of yours.

2) Most colleges will accept home-schoolers, just some places will be harder than others. Just consider yourself to be in the same position as kids from underprivileged schools. Good test scores, good recommendation letters, and good essays will definitely help. By the way, an admissions officer at one of the schools I visited once mentioned that the fear with home-school students is that they will not be ready for the social environment of college, regardless of the school's size. So, also being able to demonstrate your social maturity (such as participation in social groups, sports teams, religious groups, etc...) will also help.

3) College is awesome. I say try everything once. That is to say, remember who you are and your morals. I don't drink, do drugs, or believe in premarrital sex, yet I love college so much. There is so much to do. I also suggest joining one or two groups on campus, it is a great way to meet friends as well as spend time doing something you enjoy.

Pay attention to the size and distance of the schools at the top of your list. As these will greatly affect how much you enjoy your college experience. I go to UNC, it's a great school. If you want to know more about it, feel free to email me.

I would recommend you try www.fastweb.com and create a profile it offers many colleges that relate to and scholarship opportunities...

You should look into anthropology. As for career paths, museum curator springs to mind. If you get into a graduate program after you finish your bachelor's and do some field anthropology or archeology museum work would be fun.
