I dont know about yall but I'm going to collage and this is really interesting to me cause it just shows how much 2-4 years of your life can help you in the long run.  For those of you who dont plan on going to collage, I highly recomend at least going to one of the 2 years.

  1. I agree, after high school everyone seams to be so done with school but if they were to just put in a little extra time (even just two years) you could change your whole life!

  2. That is great! I too think everyone should go the college or trade school (or the military).

    It's good to do something you are passionate about...and have a career...not just a "job."

    The extra $ is a nice added bonus as well.
