Dear Annie: Community College a great first step for the undecided

To Annie, please:

The anxious senior who was unsure about their major might want to think about spending two years at a nearby junior college. It was a wise decision for one of my children who was unsure of her career path. She simply began attending general education classes and was not required to declare a major. It was inexpensive, so she could try other things.

She was able to save money by finding a solid job and living at home. People switching majors frequently is one of the causes of high student loan debt. It counts as your first two years if they earn an associate’s degree and transfer it to a university.

Additionally, I’ve heard of children attending vocational school to learn skills like welding. They get work right away, and some of them spend their free time creating intricate sculptures! Don’t undervalue community colleges! They offer skills that are in high demand and significantly less expensive than college. Alternatives

Dear Other Choices:

Many of you sent in letters offering helpful substitutes for a conventional four-year university in case you were stressed. For people who want to learn a trade, save money, or just take a little more time to figure out their future, options like junior college or vocational school are great.
