It takes a lot of sacrifice. I choose to join the military instead of go to college. Now I'm a 34 year old single father of three, working part time, and doing night classes. It all depends if you are comfortable with your life style or if you want change. I'm rolling the dice and keeping my eye on the prize.

I think you should definitely go to college right after high school and then after you graduate, get some work experience before pursuing grad school, if you feel that's your passion; The maturity levels of a freshman straight out of high school compared to straight off the job market after a few years might be too distracting in terms of bonding and making college friends, especially if your major is highly group work oriented

Im 18 and i want to take the same path but everyone is trying to push college education on me. What I really want to do is join the army and eventually get into special forces(SF is awsome)while making a career out of that so if i ever decide to go to college I can have the military pay a big portion.I can also try and make a business while in special forces.My moms boyfriend is a green berets but has his own business He doesn't have much time to work on his business though.

I can relate to this. I'm finishing up a two-year college program right now, not the regular way, but for free and for people with special needs. I've gotten a great education, good work experience, grown as a person and made a few great new friends. For my last couple years, I plan to enroll in a medical coding program, to meet more people and learn a new skill. After, I'll go back and get a degree, put my career on hold because I like college. It's awesome, in a lot of ways, but are you ready?

I don't know to much about the college competition between Germany & The U.S., but Denmark also has this system, so are they competing with America too? In Fact, there are 13 countries in the world with free post secondary education. But i think Denmark & Germany are the only countries that pay you.

I never understood why I was pressured so hard, by everybody, including my highschool to go to uni.. when since I got there, I wasnt studying what I wanted (because I didn't get the entry requirement grade), and so I was paying crazy fees, learning about things I wasnt even interested in... they never mentioned the debt when they encouraged us to go. So I left quickly and travelled and worked overseas for a few years and found out what I really liked, then went back to school. Best decision 4 me |
