Often most people think that after high school, college is the route to take. But the truth is, college is a scam if you don’t know exactly what you’re going for.

College is so expensive, it cost too much to take classes without the intention of knowing what you truly want in life. People think extra schooling is how to start your career, but what they don’t think about is all the other opportunities you can be offered without schooling and then having to worry about debt, etc.

There are so many different routes to go down to be successful without college. Most of the successful people in our generation barely even graduated high school and still ended up making it out and being some of the best. Start your life, find a comfortable job, and then once you know what you want schooling for, go to college.

Good routes to consider going down is military service, trade schools, vocational programs, or apprenticeships. It sets you up for life and to be able to make money and provide for yourself while not spending extra money. After you take a different route you can always end up back at college with knowing exactly what path you want to go down, taking the classes that are actually necessary for you.
