[Quiet Man Cometh]

My thoughts...

1. College is expensive and stressful. If you don't want to do it yet (or at all), don't waste the money.

2. Unless you have some special scholarship or entry thing that depends on time (I had a scholarship trust that required I complete my degree in the five years after high school graduation to get the money) then don't worry about going right away. You CAN go later in life if you want to, and mature students are not uncommon.


I don't think it would hurt to not go if you don't know what you want to do. One sentiment that I agree with is that you don't go to college for a job, you go for an education. I enjoyed my time, and would do it again, but it hasn't made me any better off, financially. It has given me a jump start in additional schooling because I'm pre-qualified for some things, but that doesn't happen all the time.
