AnonDude
I just turned 17 and I am thinking deeply about this all the time.
I'd like a good list of professions that match what I love to do.
I'll start with what I'm good and bad at in school.
I'm very very good at simple math including stuff all the way up through geometry due to my mind being logical in that way.
Algebra 2 and Trig I struggled a ton with. (huge weakness)
In english I love to write, and I feel consistent with writing great quality poems and essays.
I also love computer classes.
The rest I'm just average at. (history, band, chemistry, etc.)
Overall I got a B- or higher in all my classes.
Outside of school...
I love to write programs such as things in VBS (very basic scripting) and autoit, I plan to someday proceed to something like C++ etc.
I love to write... I have written books/journals with poems and entries etc. hundreds of pages worth of them....and am planning to further expand my vocabulary and write better.
I live in california and would love to keep myself within the state.
Give any suggestions for jobs, professions or colleges you think I'd be good at given this basic info.
Thanks, I'll choose the answer I think is most well explained.

Information on every major:
http://www.mymajors.com/
This link considers certain degrees useless as the number of jobs that will be created in the field up to 2018 is less than the number of graduates in one year in that major
http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2843/1/
Here is a list of average starting & mid-career salaries for most 4 year majors. Note these stats only apply to people who actually got a job in that field. Many graduates in the lower half of the list never get a job in their field & are not counted.
The higher they pay, the harder the major & generally the more math needed. Just be aware that high pay does not mean high demand.

But on the bright side, if you have a genuine interest in the field you are pursuing & are willing to throw yourself in it & do anything for it, you will fare better than someone doing something because they canât think of anything better to do. Those with a real passion for something can move mountains to become successful, but if you donât have that fire in you, you are at a disadvantage

AVG Free or Avira AntiVir?
Stephanie
Just this afternoon I got a notice from the AVG resident saying I had a worm called "Autoit.DCC." So, I looked at the details and it said the location was a backup copy of PC-decrappifier. The weird thing is, I haven't had that program on my PC for probably 6 months or so. I'd like to know why AVG found this just today.
Also, I looked up the info on this supposed worm and I noticed some say that Avira is better than AVG. I want to know if there's any point in switching as I have been using AVG for about 2 years now and never had a problem.
Thanks in advance. ^_^
Answer
Here's what I think is happening.
Since "Decrapifier" is a legitimate program, I suspect that AVG had a signature update today and it's detection is a false-positive detection.
Malware removal is somewhat of an inexact science. Mistakes can and do happen. Often. False-positive detections happen more often then the anti-malware industry cares to admit. It's their dirty little secret.
This is the reason that quarantining (the AVG "Vault") is always a better choice than deletion of malware. Because mistakes can be easily corrected!
All anti-virus vendors have a procedure where you can submit a file to them if you suspect a false-positive detection. Check your AVG 'Help".
Or you could upload that file to Jotti, and have it scanned by 20 different scanners and get a second opinion. For free:

Avria has historically had the best virus detection rate of any of the free anti-virus programs, and runs way lighter on your computer. The downside of Avria is that is historically been know for more false-positives.
For me, the increased protection is worth the occasional false-positive. YMMV.
