You know, I kinda disagree about the college thing as far as the timeline. I don't think its fair for 17-18 year olds to try and pick what you're gonna do for the rest of your life. How can you really know? I also don't think that an 18 year old is mature enough nor has the desire to LEARN.
I remember alot more about parties, football games, and skipping class than I do about any topic the professor's covered. I've taken classes since and had alot of training and I enjoy learning now... I want to be there. Heck, all I watch on tv is Discovery, TLC, the weather channel, and any history documentary that I stumble across... I hated history in school.
Did any of you want to be in class? Did you want to learn? Or were you supposed to go to college and attend class to get a grade and a degree. If you could do it again, wouldn't your choices and grades be different?
Unfortunately, without the degree, your opportunities are very limited. And it does fit more neatly into life to do it at 18... Its a catch-22. I just think that as a 18 year old, college is 4 more years of BS and a chance to act like a nut. As an adult, it would be seen as an opportunity to learn and improve yourself... which is what I thought the point was.
