Hey everyone. I'm doing a compare and contrast essay.... I need a little help please. Topic below. Thanks!

Question

going to college right out of high school or working full time then attending college a few years later....

Answer 1

going to college right out of high school: when you go to college right away you have a better chance of having a better future. you have a better say on things. you'll have more knowledge on things right after high school because you just finished it .

Working full then attending college : when u do this you wont have such a great future . you wont remember much when you back to college and might not succeed. When you work full time you wont get paid as much as u would if you went to college.

that's the differences

Now the similarities

their the same because you have to work be on time show up be prepared and have personal hygiene that's the similarities of the two
that's a compare and contrast idea on your essay
Bye and i hope you use these ideas and do great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It really depends on where you plan on going, how much money it costs and what you plan on doing afterwards. Someone who wants to go to an expensive college and is only able to get limited financial aid should probably work before college to save up. They will be less stressful financially in the long run. However, someone who is going to college to be something like a surgeon, which takes 12 years too complete, would be around 28-30 when they finish if they go straight out of school. If they wait, they will be even older. Some people who work after high school get sidetracked and eventually don't make it to college

hope this helps :-)

It's best to get into college as soon as you can, unless you are not sure what you want to study. But the soon you can get in, the sooner you get out and start making money that you can live on, and then you can pursue having a family, or whatever you want.


If you are truly college material, then working at a job that does not require an education will be so insanely boring that you will have all the motivation you need to go out and get your degree.

Now, I advocate getting as much education as you can, but it's not for everyone. If it takes a year off to decide what you really want in life, and discover what your personal talents and strengths are, then so be it. The important thing is to find the kind of work that makes you happy, because you're going to spend half of your waking life doing it. Half your life is too long to be miserable.

Answer 4

Well, I went to college fresh outta high school. I got a great scholarship and I was dying to leave home. But it's not always easy being in an environment with a bunch of horny, crazy, sometimes-violent people mainly age 18-24 with access to lots of substances and dark corners. I was definitely touched by violence and bad friendships and bad relationships and sometimes it's hard to deal with that with practically no "adult" supervision (I mean, adults like, people who didn't just become legal a few months before.) Younger students have less responsibility, though, so maybe it's better to make your mistakes when you're young and have no spouse and/or family to answer to (or for.) I mean, if you're planning on making mistakes one way or the other. Plus, college is fuuuuun when you're younger--you can stay up alllll night and party and go to class (sometimes) the next day with few ill effects. You can play insane intramural sports and fight with your roommates and trip in drunken stupors and not get all that hurt.

Later college--you can really lose your momentum after high school and many people who meant to go to college have trouble getting in the education frame of mind. The "real world" often intrudes--kids, job, house, other activities...it can be tough to drop what you've been doing and lurch into college after a break from school. Plus, younger students often can't stand older students (but if you're older, you don't care as much about popularity. I hope.) But working is good experience, something college students generally lack. You might not get the same scholarship opportunities, but you might have more money from working. Older students are often more rigid and less idealistic than younger ones, which can make for some nasty discussions in class and awkward group projects. But you have better connections, as far as jobs and projects and stuff like that, something that college students generally lack. So you might have an easier time getting employed after college.

Good question--lots of issues on both sides.

Answer 6

Go to college right out of highschool. That way you're still in the learning mode. When you go to work and put college off, it's too easy to keep putting it off until your finally your life passes you by.'

Answer 7

i going to college right out of high school is better because you will be 22-23 when you get your degree and you can get a good job. if you wait, you just get older and waste your time and then you will start to regret waiting

Answer 8

If you start working and then life happens (marriage, baby, etc.) you possibly might not ever make it back.

Plus, if you feel you don't have the money to go so you need to work, you may never get ahead because of the money it costs to live.

Answer 9

most people who start working with the intention of attending college later, never make it to college . . .
