I'm in grade 11, the school year is almost half over and i'm not sure what i want to do after i get out of high school. I really want to know what i'm going to do so i can apply to a post secondary school ASAP (if i have to apply at all) so i don't have to be on a long waiting list. I get excellent grades except English which i am passing with a decent mark. I'm taking advanced math and physics and have a interest in building things, computers, space and just about everything else. I am also athletic and don't mind being on my feet. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well I'm 21 and I JUST figured out what I wanted to go to school for. I've been out of school for about 2 1/2 years and I'm finally going to be a freshman in college in January. I really wish now that I hadn't waited to go into college, but I just figured out what I was interested in,,,
Even if you don't know what specific field you want to study for you can start by just taking classes (like math, science, English) that you HAVE to have to graduate. Colleges also offer courses that will help you figure out what career you're interested in.
Make sure you see an Academic Advisor at the college you want to go to! I didn't want to see one because I knew exactly what classes I wanted to be in...but I met with mine and he made everything SO much easier!! And you can tell your advisor you don't know what you want to do yet--and they'll be able to point you in the right direction for how you should proceed! :)
Good luck! I hope I helped!!

welcome to the club i don't really know what i should do either. Except i'm probably around 5 years older than you. I feel like crap because i suck at everything. I got dreams and stuff but i have no means of realising it. You're still very young and have lots of time.
