I have no idea where exactly to put this, but..., Can You honestly say that college.... Options

Is for everybody? Or that anyone who goes always gets what they want out of it even if they apply themselves?

I find that hard to believe.

It's not for everyone. I know people that have gotten good jobs with good pay (sometimes better pay than me)without a college degree. Their options aren't as broad as they would be with a college degree though. College is starting to be like a HS diploma--necessary--and Grad school is now "optional" but people make you feel you need to go. In the end it's who you know not what you know. I will say college is MUCH easier than high school.

What?! What college are you attending. Pretty much everyone else in the world would beg to differ (except maybe college freshman who have less work than they did in the IB program or something).

I think it's entirely necessary if you want to be able to do anything with your life (and don't just happen to have some other useful talent), but I don't think it's as much for me as I thought. College life is fun, but I'm sick of taking classes that I really couldn't care less about.

I went to Howard University in DC. It is really easy, maybe because I have good time management skills. My major was Communications. I just think it's so much better than getting busy work every single day. On your first day of class you know what you have to do, big and small, and you know when it's due. Also, the environment is more conducive to learning. the study groups, the libraries, the facilities. And also, seeing as you chose your major you are more into the work you're doing--it's relevant. And your freshman year it's just easy because it's basic coursework.
