Yes, you have 4 years of easy living...I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't try to become an engineer; but do something with your time...once you have a job, you have a lot less time to work on getting a good job.

yo Killerbug... Im goign to 9th grade and what should i pick for elective? Should i go to computer or some other stuff? My friend said computer is just about typing and making these crappy things with Microsoft Office WORD and PowerPoint and stuff... There's no engineer too so IDK if i should get computer... i have to be at grade 11(16 years or older) to be taking apart and putting back together PC... SUCKS...

I really couldn't tell you...I fixed the principal's computer on the first day of 9th grade before I got a chance to choose an elective (she had been informed about me by my last principal; after I rebuilt the school network so that it actually worked), so I got a special elective where I just went around fixing the school's computers for 2 periods a day (they also let me skip gym). I spent most of the time in a room that the school had essentially forgotten about, where I had setup 4 old 486 DX4 systems with Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Quake 1, and a 10mbps LAN connection between them.
I do know that the PC classes were a joke; but you have to remember that I went a long time ago; Word and Excel existed, I think even an early version of PowerPoint maybe...but the school wasn't even considering teaching us these things.
If I had to do it all over again, I would just take an easy elective with absolutely no homework...more time to learn useful things after you leave the brainwashing center, er a, the "School".
[edit]
BTW...I'm not saying this is the right choice for everyone, but I certainly do not regret it...I got myself expelled when I was 15. This was not accidental. The school district would not let me test out of classes to skip grades, and they had a rule that they would not allow anyone under the age of 18 to take the GED. However, they had a rule that said that if someone was expelled and at least 16, then they could take an expanded GED that was about twice as long as a regular one...and it would show up as an actual high school diploma, not a GED. Thus, I was in college at 16...two years of my life saved. Every district is different, and my method was only ideal under the rules of my district...but there is usually a route to bypassing at least 1 year if not more. Find the route that applies to your district (usually, they will let you test out of classes...if this is available, I recommend borrowing your brother's textbooks now, and learning the information before you get the high school).
Oh disclaimer...talk with your parents before you do anything so rash as getting yourself expelled...I had the support of my mother through the whole process, and I couldn't have done it without her support.

I really can't say if you should take the course or not...I don't know what the course consists of. If it is really just learning Microsoft Office, then I would say to avoid the course; as the school is probably still using office 97 or something. If it is learning web design, it might be a good option...assuming you have trouble learning it yourself.
Anyway, I don't even know what other electives there are or what your personal tastes are. For all I know, you would be best off in metal shop or auto repair or something...actually, I would recommend either of those above a class teaching Office 97.
