Tbh would rather be paid the same amount as a teacher or cop and have no student loans to pay off then have more money but a lot of student loans.

Tbh if my parents were rich I would go to college and ask them to HELP me pay for some of it.
But for now I plan on just doing Networking which actually pays decently |

Go into a paid apprenticeship? Develop skills in your trade? Make connections to local businesses? |

I took 4 years of IT thanks to my high school. They let us take a few hundred dollars in certifications for free and it really helped a lot of people. A former classmate of mine is now in Arizona working for a software company's IT department.
The end goal of IT is to move up to a system admin role or pivot to a programming role.
I prefer computer science and taking the college route due to Campus resources + the in depth college level classes for algorithms and science. |

I'm taking Harvard math courses senior year so that'll probably be good on my resume
(My highschool is literally 5 minutes from harvard and so once I run out of math classes to take in my HS I can take college courses AT harvard so thats pretty op tbh) |

Exalt_d grab a summer internship at a company
it speaks volumes
My other friend set up the POS for a local business and that is also an amazing project to add to your LinkedIn. It shows you know what you are talking about. |
