College is NOT for everyone. If you hate community college,and think of it as extended high school, don’t do it. Explore the building trades. They have great apprenticeship programs that provide on the job training with classroom training and then they pay you while your are learning/working. Communities NEED well trained electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, carpenters, tile setters, masons, painters, etc… There are also hospital based nursing programs and xray tech. training if that is of interest. There are many paths to a successful adult career and not all require taking on debt and spending your time doing something you hate.
