[QUOTE=Violineb;875157]17, currently studying in Reykjavik (violin performance) but I´m already pretty much professional level since I made my Carnegie Hall debut last October. I guess it´s strange to mix agressive riding with violin but I try to be careful QUOTE]

Nice i made my carnegie debut in April and i too play the violin (BTW its the best instrument ever...) im no pro though seeing as i didnt get paid it was some invitational high school thing...Well im 15 and just about a sophmore at central here in Brookfield WI...i get my money from the bank of mom and dad and generous donations from other relatives...right now im trying to get a job at my lbs...so youre a pro violinist...hows that going i was thinking about doing that...

I'm 21 and a college student majoring in Political Science, hoping to get into Law school.
im a 16 year old student and i work in a sporting goods store that sells biking/climbing/hiking stuff

i'm going into my final year and iv been considering political science and english, is it worth while? are there enough jobs? iv been considering law school too.
would i be better off doing business and trying for law through that route?

sorry to stray off topic, but im at that point where i need to choose, so anyone with experience would really be helpful to me

I'm 17, in high school, also getting some general-eds knocked-off at Missouri State University.
I play the drums, run sound for events and shows, and do some demos for local bands.
I also enjoy being one of the few serious cyclists in my (age group and) local area.
I also like to get doored and receive free replacement helmets from Trek, just to see which color they send me next.
JK about the last part.
