what's ur advice for what to do after highschool. I graduate soon and everyone is applying to colleges but I genuinely don't know if it's for me I suck ass at math and the way people describe college and the workload I have a feeling I'd kms if I had to experience the emotional turmoil. Not only that but the financial aspect as well with aid is a whole nother monster. I think I'll miss out considering I have around a 3.8 - 3.9 gpa but I don't want to put myself in something I might not actually go through with. is there actually a ways to do good w/o a college degree cuz I feel that's all people really care about today.

im terrible at giving advice (honored you came to me for some though) so im gonna tell you what i did – community college. take as many gen ed classes as you can and try and find out what subjects interest you. what are you passionate about? ik it’s unrealistic in this economy to have a job fueled purely by passion (gotta make money) but you may find something close to it. cc isn’t as much so you can feel out the college experience first, see what you like and what you wanna do, then maybe it’ll lead you to going to a 4 year. you’ll even have some credits you can transfer over but if you don’t at least you have a degree in general studies. it can’t do that much but it’s a start.
idk if this is like coherent but that’s honestly what helped me
