Many people out there did not graduate high school. It's mainly because they found that it was too hard, or they had other things in their life that seemed more important than graduating. That's perfectly valid. Many girls have dropped out of high school because they were pregnant at a young age. There are lots of children who drop out because their parents could not afford their education. What about you? Did you graduate high school? Was it hard for you? And what did you do after you graduated? Lots of people go to college, but then there are many people who decide to run a business or get a job somewhere else. They don't feel the importance of college. Share your experience!

After I high school, I immediately went to college. I guess I went that way because that was what is expected of me. Besides, I had a lousy high school life because I wasn't social enough with my classmates and other peers. Although I wanted to take a break from high school, my parents insisted that the sooner I finish my education, the sooner I can have a decent job and enter the work force. Beisdes, they think taking a break is a waste of time and money.

Well I have gone through the usual routine. After graduating high school, gone through college immediately after that.

I have graduated high school, I don't think that it was too difficult and now I am in third year at University, which means that this is my final year. I think I will go to a master course after this, which will last another 2 years. And after that I will try to find a good job, although it is very difficult in our country, because everybody asks for at least 2 years experience in that department.

I have graduated high school and I will be getting by bachelor's degree this summer. But college is hard, I'm not so sure I want to be a lawyer anymore, I'm much more interested in writing and film production, but thats not really an option in my country. So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do next. I'm supposed to go on and get a masters degree, but I don't really feel like I can take it for another year and a half, i feel like I need a break. I'm also really interested in radio. but that's not much of an option in my country either. So I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I'm finished with college. Well , at least by studying to be a lawyer I've learnt my rights pretty good, so that couldn't hurt. I think it'll only be to my advantage to know laws.
