trying to start college
I just graduated from faith academy but i was on TECH prep - so does that mean i cant go to a university college , do i have to start off at a technical college ?
also what is the difference in a masters degree , bachelors degree , or just going to school for a certificate ? will it make a difference in the future getting a job in whichever one of those 3 i decide to go for ?
and if i start at a tech school , will i be able to get my degree in the 2 years that im there for or will i have to move up to a university school and do more years of schooling ?
im thinkin about going for either business management or pharmaceutical technologies !
i want to end up being a manager at a restaurant or hotel , or either be a pharmasist .. one more thing , if i do pharmacy technichian , is that exactly like a pharmasist or is there a big difference in the two ?
i am so scared that im going to mess something up with all this college stuff so i really need some help !! thanks for everyone who trys to help :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Most students receive a bachelors degree after four years of college, A master's degree is earned as a "graduate" student, and is usually two to four years of additional study in one subject, in order to get a master's degree. This is after four years of college and earing your bachelor's degree. Then a doctorate or Ph.D. is additional years of study once you have earned your Master's degree.
A certificate is a course that requires a certain number of pre determined credits, usually at a tech or community college, and many of them are two years. A pharmacy tech (may, not 100% sure) could be a two year degree resulting in a certificate, but a pharmacists has to go to college for about 6 years after high school. So there is a big difference between the two. Pharmacy techs, help the pharmacist. The Pharmacists makes a LOT more money, but they have to be good at chemistry and spend more time in school.
Some four year colleges are Tech colleges, like Renslear Poly Tech Insitute, or MIT ( Mass. Institute of Technology.) Those are private colleges and VERY EXPENSIVE, like $40,000 a year.
some community colleges can also be technical community colleges. A community college is a good place to start. You CANNOT get a four year degree, (a bachelor's degree) from a community college. But if it is a four year degree that you want, you can save money by going to a community college for the first two years, then transferring to a four year college. And also remember this. I don't know what state you live in, but STATE colleges are always cheaper for in-state students, over a private college. If you start out at a community college please be sure and find out of the credits you earn there will be transferable to the four year college that you plan to attend later.
Hope all this helps. Good luck to you, I am glad that you have plans to go to college. You won't regret it.
