      Is College Right For Me?

      Even though high school is just getting started, you may already be thinking about what you’ll do when you graduate. You may have even picked out the college you want to attend and have a career in mind. On the other hand, you may still be weighing your options or taking things a little slower.

      There’s no wrong way to think about college at this point, but if you’re thinking about it at all, try this true or false quiz. You may learn some things about yourself, including why college really is right for you. When you’re done, check out the answers that follow.

      2. _______ Only rich people can afford to go to college.

      3. _______ Anything that’s taught in college, you can learn on the job.

      4. _______ If you don’t know what you want to study, you shouldn’t go to college.

      5. _______ If your grades aren’t very good, you can’t get into college.

      6. _______ You don’t need to go to college to get a good job.

      7. _______ If you don’t know how to apply to college, you can’t go.
