What college will be like ?
I don't feel like I am a strong student and struggled a lot in high school. I never really felt that college was for me. However, I applied and was accepted at a technical school. I just hope I can handle it as I feel I would make a great electrician. It is just the homework and me handling it with my ADHD. I tend to work slower so I don't always get my assignments done in time.

Can I attend a trade school and community college at the same time?
I am currently finishing my first year at Sacramento City college. I plan on attending UEI (a trade school) here in Sacramento. They have a nine month program that will allow me to obtain an automotive degree. Ideally I would like to achieve my degree before I finish my two years at city college and eventually transfer to a four year. A detail that may help to better answer this question is that my workload at city college is fairly minimal (even as a full time student. I was only required to attend class two days a week for a few hours. For this reason I feel it may be do-able to attend both schools simultaneously. However, I could have no idea what I’m talking about. Does anyone feel they have a more definite answer to my question? Or maybe some insight as to why it isn’t the best decision to attend both? Thank you!

College vs. University vs. Trade School
I've been thinking about where I'm going to go after high school, and I realized I don't really know much about the differences between the three. My goal is to become a horse trainer/riding instructor and either a teacher or a psychologist/therapist. If I become a teacher, I'd probably want to teach an agriculture, biology, or math class in the high school level, or get much more education and become a college professor in a more specific subject. I'm still only a freshman in high school, so I have plenty of time to think and decide, and I could find something completely different that I want to do, but that's my hope as of now. Anyways, what are some pros/cons of each type of school? How are they different from each other? What one do you think would be the best choice for me?
