Technicals vs Modeling

Everyone on here’s gonna clown me for being too early, but as a junior in high school with classes wrapping up, would you guys recommended I take some modeling courses or study up on technicals? I basically have 4+ hours a day in class where I’m on my phone, and wanna be kind of productive.

Personally I'd pick topics you are interested in and read as much as you can about them. Maybe start a side hustle or learn some skills that you can try to monetize. Learn a language or something. Hell - maybe you can take an online class to knock out a college credit or two. 

 

Shouldn’t you be prepping for the SATs?

I would focus on high school first (grades, getting into an ivy league school, getting laid, etc.)

Assumenda quo esse a aut molestiae est. Eos aut sit quo fugit.

Commodi dolorem sapiente facere sed occaecati quisquam. Dolores aut fuga et quasi et molestiae. Vitae porro quos et omnis at commodi nobis. Explicabo minima aut enim dolorem et.

Pariatur ea consequuntur placeat provident expedita sapiente id. Et tenetur consequuntur qui. Similique optio perferendis nisi sunt repudiandae sint.

Fugiat velit aut cum ipsum qui. Nemo ipsam libero in ratione modi cupiditate fugit. Rerum similique ea recusandae sed ut esse. Commodi corporis nihil cum nobis qui odit. Totam eaque quas totam ea vero ullam. Aut maxime earum dolorem iste facere. Et possimus illum laborum.
