should i go to college??

? Offline

Alot of adults have been mentioning it to me and saying i should but like i was kinda just gonna wing it and make graphic novels or vlog TvT
If i don't do something in the like art industry i wana be a (highschool) teacher but like idk college sounds like a hassle but could be fun

I heard you dont need to go to college to be a teacher, thers ways around it
studying abroad looks rlly fun tho and i heard it can make it cheaper for some

(thx for the input yall:)

@_Izzy_ Even to be a teacher you need to go to school, and teachers don't get paid over the summer so you'd need a summer job.

Some teachers dont get paid alot but i kinda feel bad because they have to deal with kids yelling and stuff put i think they get paid like 10$ an hour
I THINK!! but if yu wann get paid well the nursing or doing computer or artist get good money but its rlly your decision if yu want to be a teacher or not. the 10$ thing is what i heard by a kid at my school so dont take it personally if im wrong plz tell me

@Vanilleyy Teachers get paid under minimum wage.

As I work in the education field, most job opportunities require some level of degree (ideally a bachelors or above) to qualify for a teaching position in your desired subject/course. It does definitely range based on district, state, and school. I do know lots of school districts have teacher assistant, support staff, and obviously, tutor related opportunities that are usually open. I know a few people that were able to go back to school after a year or so in these positions to get their teaching license (that is required in my state) and a degree of their choice.

Once again, it depends on your location. I wish you the best of luck!

Depends on the job. For being a commercial pilot, I will have to go to school. Not college but a private school by Alaska basically. It used to be the norm for parents to make sure that their kids go to college, but now I would say that there are way more opportunities than there used to be that don’t require a degree, like a trade school. Ofc I figure that’s probably not what you’re going for, but just shoot for something that will allow you to live happily and comfortably.

In terms of vlogging or making graphic novels, you NEED some sort of job while they slowly gain traction because otherwise you'll be waiting a while for the money to come in. College wise, I'd absolutely go! Especially if you'd like to get into teaching. Maybe look on youtube and see what it's like at college and see if that'd suit you. Whatever happens, everything always works out in the end :3

@Nonbinary_wolf Ty for correcting me!

@_Izzy_ it's expensive and just for being a teacher I wouldnt recommend if you're wanting to go to college to get a job that pays 70k+ it's worth it if not it's really a waste of money

@_Izzy_ imo college is a waste of money and i would much rather go to a trade school or just apprentice in a trade but i kinda like working with my hands and i know its not for everyone but it just seems like its more worth while to me to go that route. idk tho twin do whatever you feel like doing :grin:
