high school student and there is no way in hell I won't go to college because my parents say life will suck and be ruined if I don't have a degree so I have to maintain my grades just to the level that a college will accept me.

Student in the fact that I learn something every day, graduated in the sense that I no longer have to pay money to learn (that was college), or get graded on what I do or don't learn!

Same here. Everything I want to learn isn't offered in College or University.

I graduated last year. I'm enjoying life so much more now. I never knew how tired I really was until school ended.

I actually can't wait for college. I am sooo tired of High School but I am looking forward to living away from home and the whole college experience. I couldn't imagine not going to college these days because so much requires a higher education. Anyways, I super excited.

Let us encourage you to focus on what you need FROM college to get you to where you want to be afterwards. What career(s) are you hoping for, or do you know yet?

I graduated high school 5 years ago. I didn't go to college for many reasons, basically it just isn't for me.

I think college is overrated. When I was in high school teachers and other people all tell you that you "have to go to college". I know virtually no one who went to college and is now using their degree. I'm not saying that college is bad, for a lot of people it's great. I just wish teachers would stop brainwashing their students into thinking that they have to go to college.

Graduated from high school in 1979, waited a year before going to college, graduated college 1985, then waited another few years and started working on a Masters Degree at Boston University----never completed that but finished 18 credits towards it before returning to Nebraska.

In 1992 I went back and got an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting in one year, and I've been working for an Ophthalmologist (eye doctor with a medical doctor's degree) ever since.

A two-year technical program was more beneficial to me than the four-year college degree was! I finished the two-year program in one year, because the first year credits transferred from my college transcript.

College student, I just started the Vet Tech program at school. So far, I LOVE it. (Except Microbiology, no thank you!) I have to admit that when I graduated High School (2000) I was nt interested in college and only went because my parents were paying for it, so for the first four years (!!!) of school I just drifted through a series of classes not really caring about my grades.

Once I realized that my dad was WRONG and being a Vet Tech IS a worthwhile goal, my GPA went up to 3.75 and I started to enjoy myself a lot.

Neither... ?

I went to 2 colleges for 4 years for 5 different subjects (Business-marketing, Business-HR, Business-Environmental, Computer Programming, Electrical Engineering/Information networking) -- and never finished any of them. School just wasn't for me -at the time- and i've thought about going back (i need 6 credits for a business diploma), but then ... i just dont have the time!

I've been senior technical software support, technical call center team lead, QA, Dev, North American corporate trainer, and now a technical writer ... I think I got lucky tho since I started all the computer nerd stuff before you needed that piece of paper to prove you knew your stuff.

80 percent of US's high schools are from 9-12th grade. Around here, there is high schools that have 10-12th graders also.
