  Gah, at least my mom works there and can recommend me? :[

  
  
  Thats always a plus, but due to issues with nepotism if you screw up your mom's position gets hurt.
  Just letting you know.

  Don't stress high wage jobs if you plan on going to college.
  To support yourself on the side, just take anything you can. The real money earning comes once you actually graduate and find a proper job.
  
  Also, on your 3rd+ year try looking for internships. The pay isn't great, but it helps build your resume greatly, gives you tons of experience you can't get in class, and even gives a huge shot at getting the job permanently at a much higher wage.

  Yeah I plan to go to college, but all this talk confuses me deeply, like internships, courses I should take, Degrees, Etc. I'm already in 11th grade (I think) and i feel hopeless :<.

  11th grade, you've got tons of time.
  
  For now, lay out like 2 or 3 fields you might want to study.
  Pick like 3 or so colleges.
  
  And apply early in your senior year.

  Yeah I got that down, Field would be Science de la Nature (Not sure what it would be in english, someone please translate, and don't say Nature Science), school's are Dawson (School where some emo kid shoot lot's of people in 2007(?)) or John Abott. Wanna go to McGill. But I'm not exactly sure what I wanna be. Leaning towards Computer Engineering, dad want's me to be a marine engineer though ( Or whatever it's called)...

  Science de la Nature would be.. Science of Nature. Or Science of some Nature, which makes no sense.
