No. Edelweiss is a mountain flower, not the mountain itself. It grows in the Swiss Alps. It's name means noble white, deriving from German edel-noble and weiss-white.

Pick a job that you will enjoy or suits you, the same with a university course. If you do not enjoy a job it will show, and you will resent getting up in the morning. I left school at 18 and only went on to uni when I found something I was interested in at the time and thought it would be good to make a career out of. Now I don't even use my chosen degree. Most employers only look to see that you have a degree it really does not matter what subject its in, all it shows is that you can stick with something for 3,4,5 or 7 years depending on your degree. It only matters when you wish to become a professional worker such as a doctor where clearly you must have a medical degree, or an architect for example.

 

I have run several small businesses, and worked for other people running teams of 40 people, and also run my own businesses while working for other people too.

My degree is recreation and countryside management ( basically a business degree wrapped inside an ecology degree), and now I am a painter and 3d artist. I was a photo trader for 10 years travelling extensively, and helped run outdoor activity centres (climbing, canoeing etc), when I needed to I have done other things to get by I have collected carts in super markets, and done dishes in restaurants.

 

There is no one set path to get to where you want to be, and I would put happiness over money and fame any day of the week

I think you have to choose something you like but something you are good at as well. Otherwise you are just going to waste your time and end up getting depressed or demotivated.

What are they?

I like subjects as Physics, Chemistry & Maths. And I also like computers/software (don't know the exact English word for it, in Dutch it's called ICT).. you know what I mean.

I did the exact same combination plus I did Biology. Some options I was considering at the time were Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Electronic Engineering degrees. I ended up selecting Electronics because of the module choices and career options. Anyways you said you like all these 4 subjects and you are good at all 4 as well but do you have an idea about your future ambitions? If I told you to order the 4 subjects in preference what would you put as your first choice? I think its best if we continue discussing using PM cause this is going a bit off-topic from real jobs so if you want any help feel free to ask. Good luck.
