Good work! Here are a few suggestions:
Hola, me llamo Clinton y tengo veinte años. Soy estudiante y estudio en la Universidad. ¿Cuál es tu profesión? (Or, ¿A qué te dedicas?)

Is what I wrote incorrect? Or are these other alternatives to my initial statement and question? - clemk93, Jul 17, 2013
"Un universidad" is not correct because "Universidad" is feminine, and "aprendo" just doesn't sound right. "Estudio" meaning "I study" makes more sense in this context...aprender is usuallly used more with things that you just pick up that with studying. - PumpkinCalabaza, Jul 17, 2013
Also, "Cuál" is better than "Qué" is this situation, but "¿A qué te dedicas?" is an even more common way to phrase that question. - PumpkinCalabaza, Jul 17, 2013
Ok thanks again for your help :) - clemk93, Jul 17, 2013
