It all depends on your situation and stage of life whether you go to college or not. College can be very expensive, which can deter some people from going. Additionally, you may not necessarily need to go if there is another way to learn the skills you need, such as on-the-job training. Another reason you may not need to go to college is if you're not ready to take that step and may need to choose a different path or wait a few years to decide what to do. On the other hand, college is the right step for some people if they get the help they need. There are many options that anyone can choose after graduating from high school. The best option for you may not be university, but rather another.
