Re: The promise of college for our generation

as a high school student, i can not comment on the struggle of being in college cause i haven't gone to college. but for me, college was pushed on me since i was little. the reason was cause most of my family did not go to college. but ever since i learned what college was, i've never wanted to go. i have my interests and what i like to do, which is a huge list, but college is not for me. i barely work at high school and i don't care for school already, so why waste my parents' money, which they don't have, or the money of the good people who would give it to me. i don't have a clue what i want to do, or even what i am going to do after i graduate. i just feel that pushing college on everyone isn't the answer, cause that is how you get so many people who have no idea what they're going to do in life. encouraging kids to do what they want could fix that. too many people want/expect their kids and students to become the best there is..too many of those people push them to become things they don't want to become. since i was little i have been pushed to become a business manager or run a business, something i've never wanted to be. if people took the time to discover what a kid likes to do, that could stop a few people from becoming something they don't want to be. it might not be the solution, i've never been known to solve a problem, but it could help.
