Answer 1

Work hard towards your goals and you will get there. I wish you well.

Answer 2

By the time you have left Uni, that job probably won't exist any more, the knowledge you gained at Uni will be out of date and you will need to learn about completely new technologies.

Answer 3

There will always demand for forensic jobs in computers, but it is the sort of job that you will need time to find, just be always on the lookout and you will eventually find one. I think having an idea what you want to do before you go to college is a big advantage as you can work steadily towards your goal during Uni.  

Answer 4

Hi Sarah

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the world is becoming more dependant on technology as time passes, and the use of computers in all areas of life keeps increasing.

I think it is a great idea you have to pursue a career in this field. If you enjoy it, that is even better, and the wage is always going to compare favourably with other professions, as so many people simply do not understand how computers work, even if they can use various programs on them.

Good luck with it, I'm sure you will do well. I had no idea what to do at 15. Stay focussed on your goal, and don't let teenage distractions (boyfriends/ going out) keep you from your dream. There'll be plenty of time for fun in later life, uni will be amazing, and you will have the spending power to make the most of opportunities.

Take care...
