Hi, When i finished highschool, i went to work. Why? Because i don't have money to go to college. But after 1 year work, i think i must go to college, because almost my friends did. So, i tried to borrow money from the company that i work and pay every month part of it. And i finished my college with 3,5 years. I proud with myself. Why? Because i work from 07.00 - 16.00 and i go to college from 17.00 - 22.00. And i finished all of that in 3,5 years. It is worth to go to college. So...if you have enough money to go to college, why don't you do that?

when i finished high school i continued my education in a university and who knows maybee when i finish the university if i will have a good average I will continue my education on even a higher level. i do some part time jobs now and then but nothing serious (luckily we still have free education) so "all" i have to do is pay for my apartment (which i share with three other students so it is not a big problem). If you have a chance to continue your education GRAB IT ; D.

Go to college and work part-time, go to college and work full-time, go to college, go to trade school and develop a trade, or just go and work, but I hate to say this, most jobs do not pay well to those who only have a high school education.

When I finished high school, I went to university after examination. You know, in China, to go to a good school means a good future in many occations. My view on study is that it is an investment, you put how much time on it, you acquire how many from it.

You have to do what you want to do. After I graduated high school I worked a full time job and sorta just hung out with my friends. Then I travelled for a while following bands and such. I went to school and pursued that career path for a year or so and realized it wasn't for me. Now I'm 25 and going back to school. while I don't regret not going to college after high school, in some ways I wish I would have because I'd probably be a lot better off. If you don't know what you want to do, don't waste your time not doing anything. Do something...that's the most important thing.

After finishing you should get a good-paying part time job and then carefully plan your future.

I continued my education to the university after High School. Gladly my parents still earned enough money for me to be able to finish my education at the university. I think in today's world, you'd have a better chance of earning a decent living if you have a university degree. Plus you said yourself that you are pretty good at Maths. So, GO, Girl!!! If you have no financial problem, I think it's best for you to continue your education. ;-D

I graduated HS back in 2006. I'm now studying at university here taking up a degree in Computer Science. I'm on my 2nd year now, and if all goes well, I should be done in two more years! What we do after HS depends on our own decision. I guess it's important that you ask yourself what you really desire. After all, no matter what you do, whether you've got a degree or not, you'll surely succeed in whatever path you chose if you just put all your heart into it. Sure, it sounds cheesy, but it's true. :D

What I personaly did , is to continue my studies in the unversity , than I get a job while studying and still doing both of them , if you want my advice go back to knowledge path first than think of other things.
