@jbgibson Thank you! I really appreciate all the advice. I think I'm going to have to write all of that down in a list or something so that I can make sure I attempt most of the useful things you wrote.
@Hai-Etlik Computer programming is something I know little about and I have been worried that this may become a weakness when I attempt to gain employment. I still have time in college so I think I will take your advice and try to gain some knowledge of programming.
