From the age of 6, we are put in school and for many many years after that, that is all we know. We study to become intelligent young beings ready for life. Parents awfully tell their kids that their job is school so we don’t get off easily. While some can’t wait until they are done with school, they forget what the real world is. Some say they would rather work than go to school. Don’t they realize they have it easy when they are in school? The hours are not bad and we get vacations. Then some think does school necessarily set the life for after? Up to high school it is mandatory to be in school but college is based on what an individual wants to do. Normally, people tend to go to college to get a better job and have a better life but is that always the case? Not in some cases as there are people that get a degree in something and end up not using it because there are no jobs.

I feel like life has passed so fast these past years. One day, I am worried about starting high school and the next day I am about to finish first year of college. I made the decision like everyone else to receive a higher education so I can find something I love to do and make a better life for myself that school brings. But I feel as if when we leave school, a lot of us will be left without a job, or at least a job that we have been going to school for. I have so many questions as I move on with my college years.

Yesterday I send my records for an internal transfer for the Tobin School for Business. It just made it more realistic that my future is slowly coming into complete formation. My biggest fear into making a decision is what happens after school? Will I find a nice job? Will school pay off? There are many people who start nice careers and do well without going to college. I’m just afraid of what is ahead for our generation. There are so many questions that wait to be answered.
