I assume you are talking about college.
An education/degree is often considered to be something of value. Things of value usually come with a cost. It's up to you to decide if the cost is worth it for the value of the item received.

Hello, Tyler !
This is a great question because it is always very important to start thinking about what you want to do after high school.
Not everyone goes to college, as you probably already know. Some people start a career right after high school, some attend a trade school or a specialized school and some people start a family and become homemakers. You are already getting the feeling that college may not be for you but make sure your reasons are not just having to pay for tuition. You can have a very doable and low cost academic experience if you really want it.
Many students successfully mange college costs by applying for Federal Financial Aid which includes a Work Study Job and applying for additional assistance though Scholarships and Grants that are awarded to students each year. So you can very well have a substantial college experience if you really want to. You'll have to want it more than the negative things you can think about it. Someone who does not know you should not tell you if you should or shouldn't attend college. You need to make that decision yourself and not focus on the cost of it, rather how you want to spend the rest of your life after high school.
If you are looking for reassurance for not going to college, only you can assure yourself of that. If you have specific detailed questions about how you can finance college - and how others successfully do it - by all means return to ask more questions. There are options. Ask us any questions focused on what your alternatives may be if you do decide not to take a college route. These are things that you will need to know to prepare your future. After all, you're going to be in your future for the rest of your life.
There are many opportunities for you to explore in a city such as Atlanta, GA. Have you started looking into programs or positions that have on the job training ? Until you figure things out - or maybe you have already made your decision - what your future goals are and how you can achieve them, you will have to continue to explore.
So my advice is to return here to ask more questions that are directed to your personal situation if you sincerely want options and advice. No matter what you decide after being well-informed, I wish you all the best moving forward !

I think this depends on your goals in life. You can absolutely create a wonderful career, diving into the workforce while learning and growing. Traditional wisdom that those would often get the leadership roles, but that is not always the case.
If the industry you want to go into requires a degree, most community colleges in California at least are free to attend and if you do well, you could see scholarships that cover most if not all the cost.

Hey Tyler,
I believe your query is about the connection between college education and its financing, right? College can indeed be a significant investment. It's crucial to start by identifying your long-term aspirations and the type of education, training, or skills required to reach those targets. Once you've got a grasp on these, it's beneficial to map out the expenses tied to that education or training.
Next, consider the type of institutions that provide the education or training you're after - whether it's a community college, a technical school, or a 4-year college, and their respective costs. Most schools offer financial aid from the federal government in the form of grants, work-study programs, or loans once you've filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Many studies suggest that the worth of a degree becomes apparent over a longer span of time. However, it's essential to balance various factors, including finances, before you dedicate yourself to a long-term education. I hope this information proves beneficial to you.
