 Is college the best choice?
I don't know if anyone has posted on this, so bear with me.
These last two weeks, I have seriously been considering not going to college. I'm a junior in high school. I have over a 4.0, got 5/5 on both AP Calc and Physics tests, and until recently never thought of not going as an option. It never occurred to me.
Recently I found what I really want to do with my life, or at least right now in my life. College does not seem to be the best choice.
Pro's of college as of right now:
-I love learning.
-It will be fun! More social growth, ect.
-Everyone is doing it! J/K
Con's:
-Takes lots of time out of your young life (unless you do it in three semesters like Steve)
-Costs money (unless I get a full ride, which is probable somewhere)
-I am tired of school.
-More people learn more on their own anyway (especially w/Photoreading!)
And the biggest one
-I don't want to go to college just to get some job. That Steve Pavlina article really struck a chord with me. My brother just got a Biochem. major, and he's not doing what he wants. I never want a "job"
Anyone else going through this now? Anyone make a similar choice? Please answer, and give me some insight I may be missing. And realize that everything that I do I work extremely hard in, so I am not woried about money, or success just yet. Thank You.
