While you can live a good and functional life without a college education, it will certainly make things a lot easier. I'm hoping that as my little sister goes away to college (she's still in state, but will be away from the family) she grows as a person. She's harsh and judgemental sometimes, she's superior and I tend to think that she could stand to be knocked down a few pegs. I love her, but I'm hoping that putting her in a new situation will open her eyes. It's hard when you have to put yourself through, or when you don't have a scholarship, I know I didn't have one initially and it's scary to worry about grades and money at the same time. But there are so many people I know who ended up giving up on college and other dreams (You end up seeing a lot of broken and faded dreams in the service industry), and I never want to be one of them. I don't care how long it takes or if I have to balance a crazy job life with my education, but I am going to finish. It's something I've promised myself. ^_^ I absolutely agree about college.
