You should go. It will give you more than an education. It give you more friends, helps you get a better job rather than working at some plant or production line. Who knows you just might find the man that your looking for. Give it a chance even it you only go for a few classes. I didn't go to college, and I am really regreting it now. I keep say I am going to go this fall, or next semister. But you know what. I haven't went yet. I haven't evn went to look at the colleges that I am interested in.
It is more than just learning, it give you a sence of adventure, and it looks really good on your resume. Go have fun learning and don't think it is going to be a waist of your time. wish that I would have went right after high schoolt I would make some money first, and then go. It never happened like that.
Good luck to you, and go....... : ) If you have the chance to go now, take it, you won't go in the future. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and GOd Bless you and your family.

Absolutely! Go to college! There are SO many opportunities awaiting you at college, and you will make SO much more money no matter what career path you plan to take. College is NEVER a waste of time, unless you waste your time and don't do your work.

it really depends on what you want to do, because it can totally go either way. if you wanted to go into a field like business, then definitely, because not doing so will put you at a serious disadvantage that you may never recover from. that being said, i have a few friends whose parents spent a TON of money on college; one now sells cars for a living, another is a plumber, and two now work in retail...clearly these were cases where the $120,000.00 could be better spent. if you're not sure, you may want to try community college until you figure it out; that way, you don't spend a ton of money, and you can always transfer out to a four-year college. good luck!!

The longer you wait to go, the harder it will be to go back. You will loose valuable math and writing skills. Go now, right after High school, even if its to a community college, you can take only classes that interest you for the first year and then start on the required courses later. Also, a Bachelors degree is almost required for any good paying job. Buy yourself a gift/bribe for going to college like a laptop, some thing to excite you....

No it's not a waste of money. If you are unsure as to if you WANT to go to college or not I would suggest you go to a 2 yr "community" college, or "junior" college. YOu don't pay as much as a university so if you decide you don't like it you have not lost a lot of money. I suggest you stick with it... get a degree!

How can college be a waste of time? It makes you way more marketable and respected.

Of course you should go. If you have the financial means to go, and you're not supporting a family or anything like that, you have no reason not to go.
