College! I keep flip-flopping on this! Advice Please. ?

Question

Every since I graduated, I've wanted to go to college. Unfortunately It's been roughly two years and I still haven't gone. I'm currently taking tutoring for an entry exam for a community college, but I'm having second thoughts about that whole ordeal.

I think it's because I fear failure. I'm currently working in fast food and it's so repetitious and I want something more and I'm undecided on a a degree. I'm leaning towards Business, but my calling is something to do with Politics.

Thanks in advance! =]

Answer 1

To get your bachelors degree you will take two years worth of "basics" so you don't have to choose a major before you start college.  Also be aware community colleges have an open door policy so you really don't have to "study" for an admission test.  If you test low in an area such as math the school will just enroll you in a remedial level math class instead of the college level one.

You will likely need both a business class and a government class for your general ed.  After you take them, see what you think.

Answer 2

Sweetheart you are wasting time. If you fear failure then stop working in fast food! Its fine for someone young like yourself on a TEMPORARY basis, its now time to move on.

When I started college I was undecided too, just take general education courses and your major will come to you. And if you love politics please go with that.

GO BACK TO SCHOOL NOW! =0)

Answer 3

Do you feel pressured to go to college? Don't think of college as something you have to do rather something you choose to do to improve yourself and to grow. It sounds like you may be flip-flopping a little because you really don't have a clue who you are or what you would be good at as a career. Before, you go to college and pick a major from a brochure, I suggest you take a few classes in career selection. Most community colleges offer these classes free of charge some may request a fee. I would also suggest that you do some volunteer work. It will allow you the opportunity to help others and see yourself in a whole new light. If your calling is politics, volunteer at a local campaign headquarters. Its an election year so volunteer gigs should be pretty easy to come by.

Good luck and don't give up!

Answer 4

I just graduated a while ago, and this has been bothering me so much too, I think it's the fear of paying for something that might not really lead to your calling. Like fear of failing I guess

But still, It's better than staying idle and it won't be a waste of time while you're their, so it'll give you more time to think about what You want to do for your career.
