College or no college?
Im supposed to be going away to school this fall. I graduated in 2008 and stayed home for my first year and commuted to community college but Ive been accepted to a state university and am supposed to start. My main problem is I dont really want to go, I know that I will have a hard time finding good jobs and such if I don't. But I just really dont want to go. Do you think I should? Or should I stick around and try to find a job somewhere?

Definitely go to college. It's so important to have 'the college experience' especially in this economy. When faced with two applicants, any employer would pick the college graduate over someone who stopped after high school.
Why exactly don't you want to go? I don't think anyone can really answer this properly unless we know why. But just think about it; what's 4 years in the long run? Deciding to go back to college after the age you're supposed to is really difficult; just do it now, and your life will end up so much better. What you get out of life is equivalent to what you put in.
Please think more about it. Deciding not to go to college is a HUGE choice that not many people make, and for a good reason. Good luck!

You should go to college. It's very important to get a college education, more now than ever with today's society being as bad as it is. But the decision is ultimately up to you.
If you were accepted into a university, then you should go. You've already went to community college, so why not finish your education? You may be able to find a job, but it's not going to be a good one. You will regret it about ten years from now when you can't pay your bills.
Go to college :)

I just graduated this year and thought for a while that I would be fine without college, but truth is: I was going through one of my anti-social periods and didn't want to be surrounded by people again like I was in highschool. I got over that and learned to approach things that suited me with a better attitude. Think about the long term...if you're not AVOIDING college because of fear,then do whatever you were going to do without college in the picture. Just don't let fear get the best of you!

Hey there.
I'm kind of in the same situation. I graduated in 2008 & did my first year @ a Community College school and planned to go off to a state university this Fall. But for some reason I really don't want to. I already have two jobs, so that's the main reason why I'm staying here because I would hate to lose them. But, if I were you I would really just sit down and weigh your options. You should try and apply at all the jobs you can right now before you are supposed to off to this university and see if you have any luck. There are ALWAYS jobs out there you just have to find the right ones.
If you genuinely just don't want to go off to school at all, then you don't have to. Spend your next year at a CC and then transfer next year - just try and find a job. I can't make this decision for you - but if I were in your shoes I wouldn't go off to a university if I didn't want to. Even though when you get there and experience it you may absolutely love it. It's ultimately your decision and I'm sure you'll choose what's best for you.
Talk to family and friends and see what they would do, too! :)
