College questions and answers
Q:Is it better to have a job when attending college or no job?
A: I think it is great to have a job during colleg. If you don't get financial aid, having a job can help you pay for some of the things you will need . It can also help you with the basic thing you will need when going to college. For an example, if you have a car you will need gas money and working a few hours on the side will not hurt you . Even if you have financial aid having a job will still be great . I'm pretty sure your parents are not going to providing the same help that they were when you was in high school . So having a job will help you pay for luxury things like the movies with your friends . It can also help you pay your bills like your phone bill and car note if you have one .
Q: Should I go directly to colleg after high school or take a break ?
A: I personally feel like after graduating high school you should go directly to college. If you take a break you might not want to go back . If you don't go back life might get in the way . You might get a job and you will be so foused on that job the last thing on your mind will be school. If you don't stay busy by staying in school you might get involved in bad things like drugs or even having babies at a young age. When you go straight to colleg right after high school , you remember more things about school . If you take a break you will remember less things and have to start at a lower pace and this will put you behind .
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, last year I really wanted to take a break from schooling after graduation. I have wanderlust (strong desire to travel). I've never in my life been outside of California so after graduation that's what I wanted to do, travel. My parents weren't having it though and now I'm glad they weren't. I think if I had of decided to take time off from college I would've did exactly what you said and not wanted to go at all. I really think I would've ended up regretting it in the long run. It's just smarter to go to college right after high school because that way you're still in the game, if you took time off your skills might become rusty.
I think you should wait about a year to get a job during college. Just to figure out how the lifestyle is and if it's hard for you or not. Once you've figured out how college is then, if you're ready, get a job. That's what I'm going to do when I'm in college. My parents and friends are telling me that as well.
