If had to give any ten peaces of advise to a high school student they would be:

1. Never get fat

Poppycock. Getting fat is fun and fulfilling.

Another thing is, you should exercise at least three times a week.

When I was in high school, I didn't exercise. I took gym class until Grade 10 because it was mandatory, and that was the only exercise I got. After Grade 10, I participated in no physical activities at all. I just sat in front of the computer or read all day. Many years later, I was completely out of shape. It wasn't until partway through university that I started exercising. It's difficult to develop strength or flexibility when you're older if you didn't do anything when you were younger.

hey, cool, 3 lawyers already! what about we make a lawyer/advocate shipset? with special weapons like "civil lawsuit", intelligencce projects like "habeas data" that give all information on an enemy empire and special engines like "habeas corpus" that allow free movement? (just kidding)

My post was a little shorte previosuly (had a court audience in a few minutes and had to hurry), but i do love my profession, even being a little overworked at this time, and in today´s courts a lawyer needs to have a very good grasp of computers, bacuse toay, computers is and indispensable tool of every law office...

And i love to play strategy games in my (very short nowadays) free time...

Not hardware but it might be fun to add it to intelligence projects. Legal actions to take when they put a colony into your claimed system, or when they destroy a population transport full of your people, or they get caught stealing your technology.

Nuclear Test Engineer. I work with US Navy crews to operate/maintain/repair/test reactor plants on navy submarines. (That's about as much detail as I can give.) I am a middle-level supervisor which requires anywhere from 30 minutes per day up to 100% of my time to be spent on board the ships - depending on what we are doing. Although my job doesn't actually require me to go to sea with them, I have been invited to ride the submarines several time for training, sea trials, etc. I am responsible for operating the reactor plant safely under all conditions during the maintenance period. This is important because much of the complex maintenance is beyond what the the ship's crew is trained to do. We "qualify" under a rigorous training program to be as proficient and knowledgeable as the Navy operators with special emphasis on performing maintenance (as opposed to the crew which specializes on operating the ship at sea). We operate the plants to set up safe conditions for work/maintenance/repairs, allow the various shops do complete the work, then test and certify their work when complete. Currently I am 8 months into a 26 month project to refuel one of them during an overhaul. The 8 months doesn't cover about a year spent doing planning.

Slick.

Best as in the most preferred way or best as in the best form of tertiary education that one can get?

I believe both ways apply, but then again that might only be me.
