Yes unless you are naturally gifted, but even then, college is extremely important. even if you are some type of genius, college still helps you to network. It's really good to get to know a variety of people in a variety of fields. Also, college is good time to help you challenge your innate ideas. People change in college, it's a great time.

it's never to late to go to college its the most important and successful thing you can do for your self. mid 20 mid 30 people still go to college.I'm in college and there is people in college that are in their 30 and they say that it is one of the best choice they have done going back to college. i would highly recommend it a lot. what  you have to lose? take the chance while you still can

It won't help you directly. I mean the admission people at the Universities won't say "Hey! This one has got martial arts! I know I'm choosing to invite!". But if you can learn life-skills though Martial Arts, it might help you through the stressful times at University.

all are good because if you are willing to study you will definitely get what you want from there.All the same a uni is the best because more complex materials that are apparently  not tought in the schools or colleges, are tought here.

Absolutely!!!\nCollege life is not just about the school, it is about the first foot in to adulthood. The University experience not only allows for a better education and so more earning potential, but life experience. That life experience arms students with the skills necessary to survive in "the real world". I learned to set my own curfew, pay bills, do laundry, feed myself three times a day, and acquire general responsibility for myself.  These were skills that could not be taught in a classroom. I'd stay away from the Greek life if possible. At most schools it is just a drinking club and can be dangerous as a result.

Not necessarily, especially if you are the type of person who can start a business and make a success of it or if you are very creative or enterprising.  However, if you are counting on being employed by someone else the college degree will make a lot of difference - hundreds of thousands of $$$$ probably over your lifetime.  And it is something no one can take away from you ... once you have it, you have it.  It will open far more doors for you than will be open without the degree.

A good university for a student to be. The main thing is yourself, how high your efforts and determination. Nothing impossible for a willing heart, my dear. Good luck !

Obviously not, as i am one! and cant find  a good job. In the UK there are not many opportunities, but u just gotta keep searching. Be persistent and never give up and someone will give you a chance, its a hard one. Some times i think was it worth while me getting a degree. Then after 6 months i got a temp job within IT so that was my start hopefully this will bring good things. Take every chance you get also try to undertake work experience while your studying will make a difference

What is really important is learning.  Good grades are just a symbol that you learned well.  I mean yes they matter in getting into college, but mostly they matter to you because it means you really learned things.  Teachers use grades to motivate you to learn.  The whole educational system does.

I would say that it depends on the employer but more and more are looking less at where you got you degree and focusing mostly on the degree itself.  I know a lot of people who have degrees, especially Master's degrees, from online universities, particularly UoP.  They have done very well with them.\n\nAfter working in Admissions for a University and now in HR for a major company, I really do think that the degree itself is most important, not where you got it.  If you have the knowledge and especially the experience demonstrating that knowledge, you can do well.\n\nBut, like I said, it depends.  You will always run into people who will have a bias but they will be missing out on some good employees because of that bias.\n\nGood luck!

It really is never too soon, in my opinion, to start thinking about college.  Most colleges look at your overall gpa which accumulates over all four years of high school.  If you are thinking about some of the more prestigious universities, you should keep in mind that extra curriculars are important too.  If you participate in a lot of activities (sports, clubs, etc.) and still manage a good gpa, you'll have no problem getting into a good school!

No, what is important is increasing your knowledge, learning new things from books, life, and relationships with all people you meet.  It is important to be nice to people and treat them the way that you would want to be treated.  Good luck to you!

No. You can do what you want, but  work an study a lot is the best guarantee. Don't look at the sky for your progress in life.

It really depends on what you want to do with the degree you get. Usually no it doesn't really matter as long as you have excellent grades and you have stellar achievements. Tons of extracurriculars or at least great references.Good luck!

Withouth a family, you wouldn't be here. Without friends, you wouldn't pass university. Withouth money, you couldn't go to uni in the first place. But you could do without a career.\nBesides lots of millionaires didn't go to uni\nSo appreciate them in that order!

By "trying to get it together", do you mean you are going back to high school? Honestly, if you think you are not going to make it again in high school, forget it. Go get a job and prove to your mum that you are not wasting your time loitering around.Meanwhile upgrade yourself by attending courses that will help in improving the skills you are good at. If you are determined to be successful by being hardworking, you can make it. Tell your mum, being highly educated is not the only source to being successful. If I'm not mistaken one of the world's richest men was a school dropout, mind you. So boy, work hard and aim and upgrade yourself at a skill and you will make it one day.And also remember, mix with good friends because if you mix with bad company, you will never going to make it to success.May GOD bless you with a bright future, as GOD helps those who have faith in HIM and themselves.
