Sometimes, in certain cases, when your young you don't know what you want to do in life. I had to wait till I was 40 years old to finally find out what I want to do in life. I plan on going back to college to finish up my degree in journalism. You may want to get an AA in liberal arts. Then live your life, and when your ready go back to college to do what your passionate about. You can't do anything of excellence if your not passionate about what your doing. I love to write. I am passionate about my work. I have interviewed many Grammy-Award winning and Grammy-nominated artists signed to major record lables with just a high school diploma. I plan on going back to college because I want to enrich my natural ability to write. It took me many years to realize writing is my gift. You may have no idea what your gift is. When your ready go back. I can't wait to go back.
My husband went to college for four years, but couldn't find a good paying job with his degree. However, he loved to work out and would spend many hrs. a day at the gym. I finally told him to quit trying to look for jobs where his degree was applicable. Look for a job that your passionate at. His passion was exercise. He got a job as a personal trainer, and then he became certified by ACE. He makes more money as a personal trainer than many people I know who have a college degree. It's your passion that will take you places. It's still good to have a college education, but it should be an education you have a passion for. If you not passionate about what you do, your chances of being successful at what you do are very slim.
