    A lot of kids fresh out of highschool are pressured into going to college right away. Its the societal norm for some fucking reason.

    Give these kids a break and let them go when they’re really ready. Personally I sat around for a year and a half before I felt like “fuck, this is boring lets go learn something now”. If i had gone to college straight from highschool I would’ve flunked out and just wasted all that money for nothing.

      Yeah I remember in high school they were pressuring every body to go straight to uni and I personally thought it was kinda predatory.

        I wish I hadn’t went straight in, personally. Wasted a lot of money and time before I got my shit together and went back for an associates a few years later.
