DO you feel that a two year education and transfering to a University is better? OR Do you feel that it is better to go straight to a four year university from high school?

If you can afford it and get into one, then going to a 4 year right out of school is the way to go. Usually 2 years are cheaper, for people who don't have the grades, or people who don't feel ready for a 4 year school. In the end, the diploma will say the 4 year school's name anyway. However, sometimes you take classes at a 2 year and they don't transfer to the 4 year so it was a waste of time. Good luck!

I would take a GED as less than a High School Diploma. Why? Easy...if you couldn't commit to going to High School for four years, what makes me think you would do the same for my company?\n\nHigh School isn't about classes, it is about survival. You learn how to deal with all sorts of people. Those I know who "ditched out" or "were done with that as soon as they were 17" weren't exactly reputable people. \n\nPregnant teens are different, mainly because they are typically forced out of the public school system. That is wrong and different. However, everyone else should keep their rear end in school.\n\n\nNOW if you are looking to go to University, it is up to the University as to what their opinion is. Frankly, employers don't care after University about High School all too much. What is more important is the University Degree...so if you are doing that, awesome...\n\nBut, if you just keep looking at the GED as an excuse to drop out and you aren't looking for a University Education as of now....stay in school.

When you both go to college, all bets are off... Just enjoy the two years you have left...and when college starts, trust me, you won't have this problem anymore...

Don't... School is so much easier and fun than working. You only have 2 more years left. Senior year is the most fun of all. It's completely worth it (generally a goof off year).  Good Luck!

Hi, you know we all different.  And it's really what makes us happy we should go with.  I can't actually wait to go back to school because I love it, I need to get more and more knowledge.  And I want to have my own business and for that I will go to Uni and study how the things work.  In your case you probably born leader and smart with a money and surroundings so good on you.  And you probably will run your company if you need without any study.  So consider yourself lucky and good luck with your future.

I think that high school is a stage in life....when you leave that stage you tend to go on to bigger and better things. If you go away to college, you meet all these new people and as mean as it sounds you tend to lose track of your h.s. friends b/c you simply dont have time. I havent been to a high school reunion, but I feel that when I do have mine I will want to have great things accomplished not so I can feel Im better than everyone, but so I will feel that I have accomplished things some of those people never thought I would.

i want to go to a U.K. university too but i found out they graduate high school at 16. i also heard they pay you to go to college (or to a university) but i think thats for citizens, which means u have to fill out paperwork and stuff. if thats what u want (im not saying its a bad idea cuz i want to do it too) then go ahead! just consider the extras lol

Going back to school is always a wise choice.  It is far easier to get the experience when you have a good education.  You admit you are in a dead end job so going back to school would definitely be a step up and a step in the right direction.  Good luck!

4 year school is better.  More chances you'll get a job, more majors to offer, more people = more life-long friends you'll make.

I have a B.A. in English.  I completed the four-year degree in three years by taking twenty courses in my final year of studies.  Upon graduation I found that it was, for the most part, useless.  The market is saturated with people with Arts degrees.\n\nSo I moved to Europe and worked for a while as an EFL teacher.  I really liked teaching, so I decided to use my B.A. and enroll in a B.Ed program.  I will start it in September.  It was hard to find a B.Ed program that would accept me with just a regular B.A.- a lot of programs expect you to specialize in children's literature before starting the Education program.\n\nI don't feel that I learned very much at university, but I feel like it's a necessary step to enter the workforce.  I learned more about teaching in my first day of work as an EFL teacher than I did in the enter six-week TEFL course, and I imagine that when I start teaching in high schools I will find the same thing.  One thing that I did learn during university was how to get the work done using "alternate" resources- I rarely attended lectures and preferred to study independently.  I am now excellent at finding primary and secondary resources when doing research, but the only reason I developed such good research skills was because I didn't go to the lectures and had to learn things for myself.  One of my big problems with university was that the professors would let unknowledgeable students ramble and babble for long periods of time, without bringing them back onto topic or correcting erroneous statements.  If I had a ninety-minute class and forty-five minutes was spent listening to the same two students repeat themselves six hundred times, I wanted to kill myself.  I paid for an education, not to hear the unfounded opinions of self-absorbed students.

It varies among people.  Some folks are ready to roll right out of high school; others have had enough of the academic life and want to see something of how the real world works before diving back into academia.  One is likely to find that the real world is rather cruel to people without college degrees, and that may help motivate one to head back to school.

I would go to straight to college, I think if you leave it for a while, you will get out of the habit of school.  Please go to college. My daughter did'nt go straight to college, and still keeps saying she will.  This is 2 years later.  Good luck in whatever you choose to do

Like anything else, high school will be what you make of it. Do your best academically and don't sweat it - either way, it'll be over in four years. Also, joining clubs is a good way to make friends AND get college app brownie points.

Well, I will be finishing up my two year degree at Strayer University here in the next month or so, and it is only in General Studies.\n\nI wouldn't recommend going to school for a bachelors degree online. I say this because In my experience you need the social atomosphere of people in the same field you are in, you also need a learning environment, and not your home office.\n\nAnother thing about online school is that I seem to blow off my work alot and end up having to do it at the last minute on the weekend. I work full time, and value my weekends, so I dont want to be stuck doing school work on the weekends, but I procrastinate and do it anyway.\n\nI would say on my journey for this little degree that I have though, my physical classes I've taken have been no different than my online classes. Most of them have been core classes and electives though, so it's really not a big deal. I would definately want to get my bachelors and above at a real school though.\n\nGood luck.

Small schools are better for education, get more interaction with the teachers...but it is harder with growing up!  I'd pick one in between the two, like 80-100 per class!

I think you would benefit from two years at a community college -- it would give you time to improve your communication skills. Your English just isn't good enough yet for a 4-year school.

You'll probably want to take it to the PhD level.\n\nThat's 8 to 12 years after high school.  Then there's post doctorate study.  So probably 12 years.
