After High School, What to do???

I say if you have the opportunity to go to school go, but at the same time get the experiance too.

As far as a bachelors degree being equivalent to a high school diploma that will be true in certain fields, but fields where they need more people in a bachelors degree willl still hold up.

I graduated in dec with a BS degree in Mech. Engineering and if feels like noone is looking for recent graduates with no exp. Everyone is looking for 2-5 years of experiance. So if you can go to school go, but at the same time try to get exp. with internships or whatever else. I wish I had did some co-ops or internships to get the exp. because unless you know someone or get really lucky sometimes the education isnt all you need.

GO TO SCHOOL!!! When I graduated HS I pissed off college. Years later I was sick and tired of driving an 18 wheeler cross country so I went back to school and got a BS in computer visulization. Now I make very good money designing hot tubs for a living. I would still be driving, and living a boring life if I had not went back

make sure u get ICARR certified as well as ASE

u can get an ASE certification test done at the local Library. I say go to school. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, having taken a couple of semesters off.. and HATING my life because i can't find/get a job w/out education. Mike

true mike but icarr is expensive, some bodyshops will pay to train you tho.
