I certainly agree. My high school is putting a lot of pressure on kids to go to college. I mean. I am not an anti-education person, but there are several college-bound students at my high school that lack any idea of what they will do in their future, they just want to “go to college.” Not to mention that my school is also pressuring the lower kids, those who lack proper study habits and work ethics, to go for a four-year degree as soon as possible. This is just a recipe for disaster. The kids that do not know what they want from a college education may end up wasting about four or five years, along with several thousand dollars on an endeavor they have no clue why they attempted in the first place. The lower ones may end up crashing and burning their way through college, possibly even put on academic probation and kicked out.
