I graduated from high school and went right into college, not a good fit for me at that time. Many reasons, not the least of which was my total unpreparedness, and lack of motivation. I would have done better either going to the local technical school or getting into a union apprentice program. I wasted many years of my life in many different occupations. Right now I am going to school online to learn a new skill. I say that not everyone is cut out for college, if you really feel that your life path lies in a different direction, go for it.
