My average GPA for the first quarter is: 
3.44
I would need to raise my GPA to have a better chance of getting into Vanderbilt University. For the three remaining universities, Drexel, of Tampa and Rider I have the right GPA.

From this exercise, I was able to see that there are several different colleges that have the things I want and there are far more colleges that I still haven't looked at. When the time comes to pick a college, I now know that there is a large variety of choices.

What careers exist in the ares of my academic strengths?


-Topic or question you are researching
-correct label-CAREERS
-links to websites where you found useful information (at least 3)
-Summary of the information you found that answered the question/topic (this needs to be a well written, informative paragraph or two that others could read and find the answer to the question)
-New questions you have about this topic. (at least 1)

Links with useful information:
Information found that answers my question:
Using the links I found on my question, I found out that there are several careers that need either English or Mathematics when being applied. While one would think that only authors and English teachers are supposed to us to use English in their profession, there are actually several other careers that need it. Some of the areas that involve it are, teaching, media, public sector and informative sector. Mostly, English teachers, journalists and writers use English, but it also is needed when a person becomes a university lecturer and when they teach teach English as a foreign language.
Mathematics on the other hand, are required by a bigger amount of careers. You probably wouldn't expect it, but animators, especial effects directors, astronauts, games designers, forensic and computer scientists, architects and doctors need Mathematics when being applied. Even though those are only a few unexpected careers that need the subject, there are several more that need it to. some examples are, most types of scientists and engineers. 
Questions I still have:
What is the career that needs the most mathematics, what universities have the best math programs.
