First off, stop writing like that. College isn't for everyone. You'll need it to get certain jobs, but it really just depends on what you want to do. My roommate is a mechanic and he loves it. He didn't have to go to college for that career and that was his choice. I'm going into finance and would never be able to get hired without a degree. You can start out at a community college to see if you want to pursue a higher education. You can drop out at any time if you don't think it's right for you. I'd say at least attempt it until you know what you want to do in life.

Depending on what you want to do in life. I just graduated from collge with a bachelors and looking for jobs I see the difference in salaries, though you WILL get paid more if you go get your masters. There is a clear difference and you can tell it.

There are some jobs that I have applied to that do not require a bachelors and pay the same as a job that does require one, but they want experience. If you are like me and didn't really work because you were in school, (I only worked for a year in high school), you might need that education to offset the experience to make the money that you want to make.

If you can't do the four years try an associates or get a certificate in a field, employers look for those types of things. I know to make what I want to make I HAVE to get an advanced degree so in the long run just a HS diploma might hurt you. College isn't for everybody (my cousin hated GA Tech but now owns a successful trucking business in Arkansas), but you need to know what you want to do and find the most efficient way to make it happen.

Yeah it'll definatley affect your future. The job you get is based on your education and how smart you are, and that goes beyond books smarts, but a strong mind capable of delivering in a professional setting.

Go to jr. college, its cheap, easy, and the system is set up for losers so they have a shot at success. You can't get into a good college anyway, you write like ****, and I can't see you even having decent SATs, your GPA is probably **** too, and I doubt you ever passed an AP test or had many extra circulars. So even if you are not certain you want a college education, your only shot would be a Jr. college. Plus its not as time consuming as a university so you would have time to get a part time job and that looks good when it comes time to transfer. Plus, there is finacial aid, and if your parents are broke, well then you only get more finacial aid, so there really is no excuse. It's on you if you wan to man up and do what you gotta do.

In the long run education doesn't make or break you, or at least what you learn through being educated. But when you go for an interview, its all about beating out the other guy whose interviewing too, who presents themselves better and who has the stronger credentials. So you may not use all that you learn in school, but that is really beside the point, your future and they life style you can have is all about the book learning and how you use it to get into a good college.

I believe so. College is no guarantee that you will be rich and successful and you may even end up in a career that m you didn't go to college for. Many people are getting a degree so it will be hard to compete with them for college. If not college possibly a trade school. People need to pay you for something (work) the less amount of people that have that skill the more you will be paid. Another choice is to start a business, but you will need to learn how to do that.

A wise choice would be going to at least a 2 year college or community college. There are not a lot of requirements to get in and applying your self your hardest for 2 years will not hurt you. I think you could handle it. As to not going to college it would hurt you in the future. People who go to college are going to make more money in almost all cases. There are still chances to make good money without college but far less chances then if you were to go. I would advise you to go so that you won't regret it in the future. It defiantly will not hurt you. Best of luck.

if your not planning to go to college then you better have a back up plan. how are you going to earn money? iam talking about real money, like enough to pay a rent and food, not just for cloths. not everyone goes to college, but those who dont are still successful if they plan a realistic alternative.

you should concider going o a tech school after highschool. possibly study electician, plumbing, carpentry etc. these careers dont require college, but certificates. a plumber can make anywhere from 60.00 an hour or more. these tech school might only be 1 to 2 years, not as long as college.

First of all, the worst thing that you could do is get a full time job. If you get a full time job you get too used to full time money and before you know it you are stuck in that rut.

My suggestion is if you are so undecided what to do then do everything on a part time basis. Work part time, go to school part time, and play part time. Try that for a year, maybe a little longer and maybe you will be able to make a decision and fully commit yourself to something.

I'd say from the creativeness of your "question" you have a very active mind and are trying to make us think you're stupid. I think it would be a waste to put a mind like this into a trade, and it will cost you about $800,000 over the course of your lifetime, but hey, it's your choice!
