Drop out and get GED? Or diploma? (Highschool)?

Ok so I am a 15 year old girl. I really don't know what path I want to take in life yet. I honestly despise my highschool, not just because it's school, just because it sucks in general, the administration, board of ed, people.It all sucks.My mom offered me that if i do photography as a career I can drop out and get my GED at 16. I really like photography, I have a good nikon and I do some photography with it. I just don't know to much about it. Which is why i'd need to go to college for it. I am not sure what type of photography i'd like to do though. I like nature and people and just anything really. I do really enjoy photography and I love to travel and it would be a great job for traveling. However, I am not 100% sure if it's what I want to do. Should I stay in highschool and get my diploma? What other jobs that make good money offer traveling and actually getting to see where you travel? Is a GED as good to colleges eyes as a diploma?

Nikon lens 18-55mm problems?

I didn't use my camera for 2 weeks or more and when i used it, it was working fine till now. I tried taking a picture recently and it was so blurry even if i zoom in to 55 or zoom out all the way to 18. I cleaned the outside of the lens and in the back of the lens and nothing. I reset all my settings in case that was the problem and nothing worked. I tried on a different lens at a store to my camera and the pic came out perfect.any tips or should i just buy a new one ?

Best video editing site?

I have a new camera, Nikon D3100 and I really want to use it to it's potential and at the minute I'm using Windows Movie Maker, and it's really basic, and I really need to upgrade as I've upgraded my camera. I cant afford a iMac or MacBook just yet, so any good sites I could download that are just as simple as Movie Maker?
I've tried Vegas Pro, AVS, and a couple of others but AVS has crashed and Vegas Pro is far too complicated for my liking. I want something simple, but with amazing features!
I do dog training stuff and horse stuff at the minute, so best people to get examples off are these people - http://www.youtube.com/user/EllenMario?feature=CAQQwRs%3D Only video's that are edited with music though.

Nikon D3100 Long Exposure Help?

I'm trying to take pictures of star trails with my Nikon D3100. I have a shutter release and I set it to take 150 45s exposure photos. For some reason it wont take the 45s photos back to back, it seems as though the camera has to take some time to save the photo. I was wondering if there was any ways to get around that. When I get every other photo my star trails look like dots rather than lines. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Added (1). I can't do longer than a 45s exposure because otherwise my sensor will overheat and I get 'hot pixels'. I use an image stacking program to get the star trails.

How do you change the noise reduction?

How to take this photo? - 1

I have this necklace that when spun has two words on it. The way that it works is half of the words are printed on one side and the other half on the other side. I want to take a picture of it spinning thus capturing the completed words and i have been playing around with my camera and have been unsuccessful. Could you tell me what might work to achieve this? (Aperture, shutter speed, iso, etc.) i have a nikon d5100

I don't know much about cameras and really need help with my Nikon D40!

Somehow my photos have ended up as NEF files instead of JPEGs - I'm trying to upload my holiday photos to facebook, when I connect my camera to my laptop it only recognises that there are four photos on my SD card; these four are actually JPEGs, and when I look at them on the camera they say 'Normal 3008x2000' in the bottom right hand corner, whereas the NEFs just say 'RAW'. How can I convert them all to JPEGs so that they can be uploaded?

Should I sell my Dslr and get a different one?

I currently own a Canon T3i with 18-55mm & 50mm f.1.8. I've been looking at a Nikon D90 and I love the image quality and things like that.So should I sell my Canon T3i with the 2 Lenses and use that money to buy myself a used Nikon D90 on craigslist with 18-55mm lens? Or should I stick with my Canon T3i?

Can you suggest me good Nikon telephoto lenses?

I am researching to buy a Nikon D600 with the lens kit 24-85 vr, I am looking for a good telephoto lens too. I am much more familiar with Canon system and in the topic of tele zooms it is easy, the Canon 70-200 f4 L usm is the best bang for buck lens.Is there anything like it for Nikons?

Would it be safe to say picture quality has always been constant?

I look at old photos from the late 19th century and early 20th century such as on Shorpy and when they are blown up, I can't honestly tell the difference in quality between these photos and what my Nikon D5000 can take. Now I'm just an amateur photographer, but to me it seems like photo quality has stayed pretty much constant since photography was invented.Is this true? If not, what accounts for the good quality of old photographs?
