i just had an interesting talk w/ my friend... just when i was into 3D... this talk is changing what i think about my future.

i'm only 15, and next year i'm goin to be a sophomore in high school. i got started last summer and now i can do almost all 3D trick in the book. then my friend was talking about what i want to be and where i'm going to go. i want to be an Aeronautical Engineer, but she said that w/ all the money i've spent on Airplanes, and all the time on airplanes... where am i going to go after high school? will this just be a hobby for my next three year then Pooff...it's gone? how am i going go to college? how am i going to live? money? ( for planes and college)

had anyone here got to quit the hobby b/c of school? ( college particularly) how do you deal w/ this? i bet there are a lot of people out there who experienced this... how do you fix the probem?

Just my thought that popped out of my head...
