Do yourself a favor... Something I wish my parents would have shared with me at your age... Buy/Download/Read or Audiobook a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Read and/or listen to it about 3 times. I'm sure you'll thank me for it later...
If my parents would have taught me about investing at an early age, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation right now. For whatever reason my parents were big on having Life Insurance... I had freaking life insurance since I was 22... if I had invested that $42 a month back then...ugh.. I dont even want to think about it, it gets me sick... but in all fairness they didn't know, and, the internet and information age wasn't around then to self educate...
I was very much like you... I HATED school. I was a jock so I got by...My grades were very poor and I only excelled in a few classes such as Math/Science/Lunch and Sports..lol. I graduated and went to tech school to become a mechanic. I worked for Ford Motor Company as an electronics specialist. I did that for a few years and decided that's not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, however, I enjoyed doing the electronics portion of the work. I quit and took an 18 month course at a Computer Learning school.. I graduated and pursued my IT career and haven't looked back.
My advice to you is...be around people that you inspire to be... shut your pie-hole and listen and learn. Your ONLY limitation is YOURSELF..!! dont let anyone else tell you otherwise..!
