Are there any good real life jobs that u can make alot of money by scripting for some sort of anything With going to university. Because I really enjoy to script and would like some job that involves making stuff on a computer.

Any ideas?

You aren't going to find one for SCAR scripting.. :D

But, as mixster said.. Computer Programmer is kind of an obvious one it would seem.

Yes, but where I live there aren't many jobs for people for ~16 year old AFAIK.

I want to do what I love, and I probably get more cash…

If you do something you like proffesionally, you will soon tire of it. Thats just life unfortunately :(

yeah i have to agree, i love scripting but i could never do it for a career. I need to have the freedom to say screw this, ima phone up a friend and get some fresh air. haha
the moment it becomes something you have to sit down and work at 8 hours a day every day for the rest of your life, is the moment it becomes hell =S

Freelance websites. Once you've got your basic templates made up, its a lot of cash for not too much work, with the occasional exception.

Music artist/band sites, for example, are worth anywhere from $100-$500 and are extremely easy to make (especially after you've made one or two; keep the code, mix up the design). You can even host them all from the same server and charge the poor saps monthly.
