Should I go to college?
To answer this important question, consider the following:
Will a college education give me the tools I need for my future career?
Do I really want to go to college?
Do I enjoy studying and reading?
Do I "grit my teeth" and work harder when faced with difficulties?
Do I have the high school preparation that will enable me to be successful in college? If not, am I willing to devote the time and energy needed to develop the skills, abilities, and academic background needed to succeed in college?
Do I have the grades and test scores needed to gain admission to the college of my choice? Am I willing to attend a two-year college, work hard, and then transfer to a four-year college?
Do I have the maturity and sense of responsibility to handle the freedom and independence of a college environment?
Where do I see myself five years from now? Ten years from now?
What type of lifestyle do I want for myself?
What are my priorities in life? What is important to me?
