Yeah, start at a Junior or Community College close to home. Commute to classes. That should be the least expensive way of getting experienced in college work.

Work your butt off. If you discover a hidden talent, then you'll know what God made you to do. Take some courses that qualify you for work you think you will like.

But also take mathematics and communications, journalism or English courses. Thinking and writing skills are VERY handy in ALL future occupations.

While you are there, start investigating work-study programs. For example, if you want to be an electrical power engineer, your local utility may have such students.

By the way, if you ask this question again, specify your home state and your possible interests or talents.

If you have completed high school, what subjects did you get an A+ in OR which subject(s) did you REALLY like.

The Educational System is still VERY VERY imperfect. Some things are a total waste of time and money but you must go through them. Many teachers are incompetent, including the subject they teach. Try to make the best of bad situations and TAKE ADVANTAGE of the good breaks and the occasional excellent, enthusiastic teachers.

But the main reason I mention all this, is so that you become what you want to be. NO ONE can stop you. And this all depends on what YOU want to do, NOT someone else's opinion, least of all the incompetents.

choosing a college is a big decision. If you are from a large high school (more than 2000 students) the shock of a large college may not be hard on you, but if you are from a small school, I would suggest you look at the many small colleges around the country, or look to your local community college for the first year or two. This will give you a chance to decide on a carreer path, and may make selection of a college easier, as you may find a college that specializes in the carreer path you choose. Local public community colleges and four year schools provide the lowest tuition schedules, in general, while out of state public and private schools have higher tuition expenses. Your guidence counsellor at school will be able to help, as well. Good luck!

When you're looking at schools, think about what sort of school you may want to go to. You can whittle down the list by considering the following factors:

- Location: Do you want to go to school close to home, within a 2 hours' drive, or a plane flight away? Do you want an urban, suburban, or rural school? Does the weather matter to you (you hate the heat and humidity of Florida, or hate the snow of Buffalo, for example). Do you have any particular regions where you'd love to go to school, or would hate to go to school?
- Type of campus: Do you want the school to have a traditional, campus-type feel?
- Type of school: Do you want a school that has a particular focus (Bentley for business, or Emerson for communications, or Parsons for art, for example)? Do you want the school to have a particular religious bent (Nazarine, or Jesuit, or Jewish, or Quaker, or no religious leanings at all)?
- Campus environment: Do you want most kids to live on campus or off? Do you want to go to a school where most kids stay on campus on the weekends or go home? Do you want to go to a school where the focus is intensely on studying and grades, or where socialising is just as important as studying?
- Size: Do you want the breadth of offerings that only a large school can give you, or do you prefer something smaller and more personalised?
- Programs: Are there any particular majors you're interested in? Any sports or clubs or activities you really want? Any programs (like sororities), that you really don't want?
- Type of degree: Do you want an associates? Or do you want to go straight for a bachelor's?
- Cost: Is cost a factor? While it shouldn't determine which colleges get on your list (because you may get financial aid), if cost is a factor, then at least a few of the schools should be good quality, lower priced options, like your local state universities.
- What are your grades and SAT scores? Knowing these will help you focus on which schools you may realistically get into, and which may be a bit of a reach but to which you can still apply.
- Are there any other factors that a school must have? Are there any factors that you'd prefer the school not have?

Once you've thought through this list, it will help you narrow down your choices.

For example, when I was picking schools, I looked for schools that were close enough to home that I could drive home on a weekend, but far enough away that my mum wouldn't expect me to. I didn't care if the campus was urban or rural, but I wanted it to feel like a real campus. I wanted most kids to stay on campus at weekends. I didn't want too much of a party school, and I wanted next-to-no frat scene. I wanted them to have certain majors, a student radio station, and a gymnastics team. I wanted them to be very good, academically, and have a good rep with employers. That's how I narrowed down my list.

My advise is to attend a local community coillege and obtain an AA or AS degree from them. This was you get the feel for college and you can experiment with different classes to see what you want to major in. It is cheaper and it only takes two years. You can then transferr to a four year college for the final two years and major it what ever you decided to do. That is what I did and it really helped me determine what I wanted to major in. I took classes from sciences to business to arts. Good Luck!

I think everyone should go to college. That might be because I am a college Professor. You may want to think about starting at a Jr. College and work your way to the 4 year school.

With spelling like that I'd have to say your closest community college. They are cheap too.
