The grade nine courses are all required anyways, the only optional courses are Intergrated, music, drama, HomeC, and Business.

Highschool? Your worried about carrer based classes in highschool? Jeez they make ya start younger and younger these days thats for sure. No one asked me in school what I wanted to be in life till I was a senior in highschool and already beena accpeted to college.
Personaly I would take CE.

i would have thought that the point of CE would be the opposite of that, it wouldn't be that hard. maybe i'm just naive...
quick question- sinner, how old're you?

Well, i'm just a senior in high school, but it seems to me that the things that you do in high school never seem to matter in the career world. Basically, just take any classes and you can still do whatever career you want. For example, in my case I have no idea why i'm taking AP Physics and AP French if i want to perhaps go into writing (or computers still have no idea). Basically, unless your some kind of person that likes to plan their entire life before it happens, things may change for you in high school and you may find yourself liking a different career. High school is there just to get credits and learn a couple of new things. You have plenty of life to plan and look forward to what you want to do.
