Our Future After Graduation

Our+Future+After+Graduation

As we say goodbye to our graduates who are now going off to college, what are our plans for our future after highschool graduation? A lot of people already know where they want to go for college or what they want to do, but what about the people who don’t know what they want. Most people get scholarships to colleges and some have to apply. Some people have their dream college that they wish to go to. There’s community colleges and there are colleges where we have to travel long distances.

But of course, not going to college is also an option. A lot of people don’t tend to want to go to college. Whether it’s because they have problems with being far away from their family or they just simply don’t want to go. Over the past few years, a lot of college students have dropped out of their schools because they took too long. Around 40% of these undergraduate students drop out halfway through their first year of college. Most people have to leave college because of debt and they can’t find a job.

People who got a job back in highschool would still have made money but they still would have to pay everything off that they owe. But the question is, do we know what we want to do when we get to college? There are so many career paths that we can take out there and we could make a lot of money out of it. A lot of people pass up opportunities like this. Are we gonna do the same?
