Question

Im so confused I have no idea what to do after high school!! Should I go straight to college?

Answer 1

You need to make sure that you really want to be there first.  Otherwise it is a very expensive learning lesson.

I went into the Army after highschool because at that point I didn't give a d**n about education, but was very interested in the Army.

I retired after 20 years and then went back to school and got a BS in Geology and an MS in Environmental Science.

Answer 2

If you're unsure, your best bet is to go to a community college and get some of the general coursework out of the way.  Take your basic classes, like English, basic Algebra, etc.  Those credits would transfer to another school if you so choose to go.  This way, you can explore what's out there, as well as get some of your college work done.  

It's a whole lot more difficult to go back to school once you've stopped.  My fiancee didn't finish college and hasn't been to school in almost 6 years...he's 29 now and is just getting his degree.  Do it now while you're still young.

Answer 3

You really need to think about it because it is a very important decision. Honestly, a lot of people who go to university don't know what they want to do but I wouldn't reccomend it. If you don't want to be there it will be absolutely miserable for you. Make sure when/if you do go to university, that you like the place and the course, that's very important. Maybe take a year off to make up your mind, maybe work a bit or go on a holiday if you can. Don't get to wound up about it though, that doesn't really help.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

YES, go right to college and stay there until you have your doctorate.  There is no time after you get out into the real world to do this like the time after high school.  Go, and do well.

Well!  With that said, we take it you have a choice.Your pretty smart and have the dough. If you think a trade school is for you, go for of it. That's what the Europeans do. Somewhere after 9th grade. You've past that I take it. " I "  Not having as many choices as a young graduate chose a trade. Cosmetology. It has been very lucrative.( Go to college, ) or be you. The best way you can.
