[jessicaabruno]

Have mix feelings on this since have yet to be at this stage of my life. Hopefully in the future will be. Or haven't gone to college as of yet and unsure if its really neccessary part of life.

the way i see it everybody should go to college... not only for the extra schooling but also just the experience. i go to a 2 year college so my experience isnt like everybody elses but still...

My advice would be to think loooonnnggg and hhhhaaarrrdd before going. I will be getting my BA in Speech-Language Pathology this May after 5 years of college. I wish I would have waited to see what I really wanted to do with my life before just diving right into college after HS because that's what you're "supposed" to do :)

Emily,

Thanx for your response and thats where I'm still at. One of my grandmas was sorta in that position.

Yup, you need a college degree these days to get your foot in the door. I guess employers look at it as something you can start and finish. To get a job you will need a degree but at the same time you'll meet people that you'll be friends with for the rest of your life.

Not always. Most times, but not for everybody.

I know, there's always the exception to the rule :)

you must go to collage because collage make you more strong
and good test to examine yourself
but there will be avery difficult moment you should get over it

From the viewpoint of a foreigner I see the college in America as the doorway to life. For all I know the Americans who don't have a college degree only work in horrible jobs, whereas all the others make the big money. That's what I see in movies.

Most times true, not all the time. My husband barely graduated high school, but he has a great job (he has a trade).

Actually tradies over in OZ generally earn very good money, more than a simple lecturer such as myself in general. But they do work longer hours and in worse conditions. In IT though still only around 50% have any formal qualifications.
