Hi I'm 15 just graduated high school and with the school year starting for everyone else I would really like to be productive. I can't work because in my state you have to be 16 to get your working papers. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Take acting at the local college. An eye opening piece is "Dress For Success" by John Molloy. He has a lot of advice for students, and it has no resemblance to the guidance you get from school counselors:
1. Vocal skill will affect your earning power more than any other single detail.
2. Acting skill will get you a job offer even if you are not qualified for the job.
3. The most important thing you get from your college years is your address book.
4. The main difference between a successful man and a very successful man is the latter knows hundreds more people, and he knows them quite well.
Plan your schooling accordingly.
