Choosing paths other than college

At a young age, we are engrained with the idea that there's only one path to a successful life. That is you have to finish high school and college is a must to get a job that's not flipping burgers for minimum wage. However, some have found that college may not be the best fit for them, therefore, decides to skip college altogether and enter the workforce. With recent studies showing rising unemployment rate among recent college graduates, it's getting hard to justify the time and cost devoted to college. I believe that college should be for those who are unclear or unsure about their future. Colleges offer exposure to a multitude of careers and profession that can help a student discover what is it they really want. They also have the opportunity those who are going through the same journey and hopefully discover what is it that they want to do to make them happy. However, for those who are destined to pursue their career as a nurse, a mechanic, or a chef might not see the value in going to college. Many find it easier and cheaper to go to a trade school which focuses on their especially area of interest. For those who attend trade school found that it's faster to be certified and easier to find jobs after graduation. I Personally, I myself will go to college no matter what because the path I've chosen requires a college education in order to become a pediatrician plus my parents won't support me financially if I don't. There are different paths to happy life it is up to you figure out which one fits you best.
