DANiELLExJ0ANNE answered Friday August 31 2007, 1:39 pm: I know a lot of juniors that have no idea what they want to do after high school. You should definatly go to college and try different classes and see what you like and what you would want to major in. If you like art take art classes to be an artist or an art teacher. If you like children go to school to be a teacher. it all depends on what you like to do. and about your parents, dont worry about it if you want to go to college then go. They might not be saying anything about it so they dont put too much pressure on you. good luck :) hope i helped [ DANiELLExJ0ANNE's advice column | Ask DANiELLExJ0ANNE A Question ]

There are lots of jobs you can get without going to college. For right now, focus on getting good grades and enjoying your high school years. Once you graduate, if you still don't feel up for college, take a year to just work and see how you feel after that.
You are still very young and you have a lot of options to choose from. Nobody said that in order to get a good career you had to attend college right away.
Your parents are probably just trying not to pressure you. I'm sure they mean well by their actions because they just want you to be able to make this decision for yourself. I wouldn't worry about that too much. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
