That's definitely something I have to think about XD
My main career interests at this point are entrepreneurship and financial planning. Maybe I'll get a CFP or a masters in financial planning? I'm not really sure... I have 4 years at least Wink

College is not really harder than high school. I wish I had done what you are doing. High school is a waste of time these days. College is a joke... not really very hard at all if you are a decent student. Honestly, I probably could have completed college as a middle schooler. Go for it!! Get out of the prison system (school) quicker...

All generalizations are false.

Just off of the top of my head, here are some undergraduate majors far more difficult than high school:

chemical engineering, biochemistry, physics

Caltech and MIT are not at all like high school.
63 CLEP Sociology
75 CLEP U.S. History II
63 CLEP College Algebra
70 CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
68 DSST Technical Writing
72 CLEP U.S. History I
77 CLEP College Mathematics
470 DSST Statistics
53 CLEP College Composition
73 CLEP Biology
54 CLEP Chemistry
77 CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications

Of course - but a business/liberal arts major isn't that hard (at this point for me and from other peoples' experience).

Thanks homeskooled!

And I definitely agree with clep3705 - a math major is NOT the same as high school Wink

Sorry, but college is much harder than HS. Even AP courses run at half the pace of a college course. Yes there are HS students who can handle a college course or two, but it is definitely not a majority.
