I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do before I finished high school and, guess what? 10 years of college, two degrees later, and I was no more qualified for my current job than when I was 17. I can't believe no one would even consider me the first time I tried to get out of working shifts at the midnight bowling alley. My own personal opinion, if you don't know what you're going to do out of high school, there are great options for you. Take a year off from school and travel. Make the world smaller, and your options bigger. Figure out who you are. Don't go through your first year of school, spending 10 thousand dollars on a life you aren't sure about. I understand certain value in "getting your crap together", but what does that really mean? That I show up to 8 a.m. classes on time, apparently. It really gets under my skin to see the f'n morons that have climbed up the corporate ladder because they "have their crap together." Some of these guys couldn't learn an ARM from a fixed, or north from south, but because they show up on time and never get sick for 15 years they are making 3x my income? disgusting.
