I think the first thing you should think about isn’t the GOING college part it’s what you want OUT of it in the end? Idk how it is now but when I was going through HS is was just constantly told to get a degree and the job comes after. Well let me tell you, that a load of bullshit. College isn’t a guaranteed job but, unless you are very lucky, it IS a LOT of debt. Don’t just go for whatever degree sounds good. Know what field you want to go into first. Then stay the course. I always figured I’d get a degree in natural science, get a nice lab job “cause those have to pay decent right?” Fucking wrong. Took me 6 years of hopping from one trash job after the next trying to get something that not only used my degree but payed good. Finally got a job doing… Tech writing… Which has nothing to do with my degree at all but at least the pay isn’t complete trash. Meanwhile my buddies that went into computer programming all make 6 figures and do piss all all day long.

Planing out your end career is more important than the college bit. Hell you might not even need college bit s trade school instead. Lots of trades are loosing workers at an alarming rate as boomers retire and there’s no one to replace them because… The told all the next generations do go to college and get degrees… Imagine that.
