I am still in high school, but I am great at art (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, graphic design etc.) I want to go to collage and major in art and/or creative writing for at least 4 years, the education is not a problem for me. Now my problem is, I don't know what jobs are available to my interests, or the chances of the average person to succeed in that job. I do not what to spend years of my life and money to find out that my skills are worthless. What would you suggest?

I'm talking about anything from plant nurseries to conservation sites, but would like to ask if anyone knows any particular roles, job descriptions or links, and whether it is best to expect seasonal, part or full time sorts of jobs. Also, any info on the kinds of pay in those sectors. I know about freelance gardening, this is more about working for existing organisations. Thanks.

What are the specific features that I should look for when purchasing camera lenses (for Nikon)? I will be mainly shooting portraits and some landscape, and plan on purchasing the Nikon D7000. Will a 18-55mm standard lens suffice? Also, I've read somewhere that the more optical/ focal zoom range a lens has, it can produce more noise and/or blurriness. Is this true? Thoughtful answers would be greatly appreciated!

I graduated a year ago with a degree in biology (b.s.). I have been trying to find a job ever since. I live in cleveland, oh and the problem I keep running into is that every job is a sales job. I AM NOT A SALESPERSON!!! I am very smart and a job that does not utilize this will be short lived. I need something that allows me to make decisions and does not involve selling. Going back to school is not an option as I need money and WILL NOT move home to live with my parents. So unless it is something that allows me to go to school part time while working full time, it is not an option. I am very open minded, all I really need is decent pay, bennefits, and the ability to think for myself so I dont get bored and quit. I am currently working part time in retail, with little room for advancement as the only real position to move into is store management which is a very competitive sales position. My sales numbers are not good at all. I also work part time teaching at risk 6th graders, but i am not a licensed teacher. I do enjoy the job, but the long hours of a teacher and low pay are most likely not for me. biology is just a degree, a job with biology is not important or really even anything worth considering. Sales jobs are the only real jobs I find available.

Okay, let's imagine you have just been tasked by the Dutch, English or Spanish to colonise the fictional continent of Lemuria (for the sake of this, lets say it has the same climate as Eastern Australia). The continent is only inhabited by animals and the descendants of lost sailors from Ancient Rome and Greece who live in a society like the Celts of Britain but still with some aspects of their original communities. How would you plan? How many people would you take? What would their professions be? How many soldiers would you take? How many ships? What resources would you take? What buildings would be a priority within the first few months? How would you defend your colony? Which landscape and land formation would you colonise first? (ie. Bay, inlet, beachy land, inland?) Thanks! Oh and what would you call your colony? (You can also rename the continent) And how would you deal with the natives? 1) I would take firstly 350-400 people with me. 2) They would be masons, carpenters, farmers and soldiers. 3) I would take 100-150 soldiers. 4) 10-15 ships. 5) I would bring food to last the voyage and the first few months of colonisation. 6) First building to be built would be a fort, the next would be houses for the colonists, a port and docks and then the official buildings. 7) I would defend the colony with the fort and a series of walls and dykes around the colony. These walls and dykes would also be a priority. Also outpost towers. 8) I would first colonise a natural bay or river inlet. 9) I would name the colony (if Dutch) Nieuw Batavia, (if British) Bayland (due to the large amount of natural bays and inlets), (if Spanish) Nueva Castilla, (if French), Nouvelle Provence. 10) I would forge alliances with any natives willing to, with any hostiles I would send back for at least another 50 men and put them in their place. However I would try and conserve their culture and history a We are from 1600s - 1700s/ Ouragan (or whatever your name is) - Do you not grasp that I was speaking from the context of the colonial days of 1600s - 1700s Europe? Apparently not. Read the question before you answer.
