Best time to go to college
A lot of people go to college straight after school. Others wait a few years. What is going to be best for you?
Here are some things to think about:
Good reasons for going to college now
 
You know exactly what you want to do and you want to get started as fast as you can
 
You’re used to learning because you’ve just been at school
 
You want to be in a class with other people your own age
 
Financially it’s going to be easier now
Good reasons for going to college later
 
You’re not sure what kind of career you want
 
You’ve had enough of learning for a while
 
You want to earn some decent money first
 
You want to put off college until you know you can really commit to it and do well there
 
Some people never go to college! And for some people that’s the right thing. For instance, they might find it easier to develop their skills at work rather than at college.
 
Why not talk to a tutor if you want help deciding what would be best for you?
