Get a job.
Earn money.
Save the world.

I'm going to work on a Home Entertainment PC with my dad. We are currently in the process of selecting parts, then we'll put it together and stick it in our home entertainment system. So I can watch movies on the TV and listen to my mp3s downstairs with ease.

1st order of business: Internship at local municipality. Building them a dynamic website in PHP (oh yeah, learn PHP also), and doing network grunt-work.

2nd: Get my company's servers up and running. We've got a IBM jSeries, 2 hSeries, and an i386-based server we call a "Washtub". I'm in unix-land, and I'm up the proverbial creek. xp

3rd: Well, whatever's left I suppose.

1. Learn how to, and build my bank's database.
2. Finish up homeschooling stuff we're getting out of the way(including some of my Computing Tech course).
3. Get a job.
4. Learn Python.
5. Wipe my second hard drive and install Debian on it.
6. Finish several other minor projects having nothing to do with computers.

Before the summer, I created a small list of things I'd like to acheive.

1. Get job again. Make money
2. Learn python
3. Learn a bit of C++
4. Build a thermoelectric air cooler
5. Build a small computer based around Z80 / m68000

I've already got a job; The aircooler looks impractical and expensive; I probably won't end up learning any C++ (but I'd still like to learn python) and I have very few EE tools available to me (as I'm staying with my parents) so the computer idea has been shelved.

Yours is quite similar to mine.

1. Get a job.
2. Relearn C++, properly (long story) OR learn Python.
3. Other minor and short-term projects.

Can someone suggest a project for me to do so that I would have to use C++?

Whatever you do, if you decide to use a GUI, look into wxWidgets. ( www.wxwidgets.org ) when used properly, it lets you write c++ code which will compile on windows, mac, or linux without modifications.
