I also agree with Stephen that students (and faculty also) should <b>surround themselves with experts</b> who can guide them as they make important decisions. A few years ago I heard a highly successful executive referring to this as "forming your board of directors." I liked the use of the terminology and have adopted it. I would suggest making a list of those individuals whom you highly respect who could be of help to you in guiding you through school and into college (or whatever the next step is for you) and informally think about utilizing these people much as a major corporation utilizes its Board of Directors.<br />
