Why should I stay in College?

I’m not much an advocate for “staying in college” for the sake of someone else. If you think it doesnt matter or that you will be happy in the trades or can get an interesting job or have another idea you want to pursue? I say, do it.

You can always go to college later, if you find out that your prospects are not what you want them to be without an undergraduate degree. You are young, young, young, and clearly have no idea what you want, yet. You might as well go out into the world and get some experience and figure out what that really is.

But, do your research and look at your realistic prospects, and how you will be self-supporting. Once you leave school, you are probably going to be on your own, and will probably need to be able to support yourself financially.

Good luck to you. You’ll figure out what you want from life eventually.
