Can i still go to college even if i suck at math?
Absolutely! Your in large company, as many students struggle with math. I did, but I earned three college degrees (all with honors). All colleges with require you to take placement tests when you apply to attend any college, this gauges where your level is at. You must pass them but most people do. For example if you don't score high enough on your math placement test then you won't be allowed to take the required math class for any degree (it is the same for most degrees). Instead you will have to improve your skills by taking remedial math classes as much as needed until you pass them and then you can take your required math class for any degree (in the gen ed areas). I knew one girl bad at math she had to take the remedial class 5 or 6 times to pass it. There are also some alternatives although they are not necacarrily easir but instead differnt. For example I put my required math class off until the end of my 4 year degree, just because I didn't want to down myself with too much failure on one class. In the end I ended up taking a Logic class, which is language written mathematically. Aristotle came up with the concept (using words mathematically to resolve truths and falsehoods in the same way numbers do. It was still hard, like learning a foreign language, and I put more one-on-one time with after class Professor help and tutors helping but I earned a B- for a final class grade, which was very good!! Check your intended college's math requirements first, see if you can take a logic class instead if you are so inclined.
It depends. If you got into a good school and received a good financial aid package, I would say yes definitely go for it. Pick a marketable major like CS and start. If you don’t like the major change, you’ll have a solid foundation in math, science, and writing. You’ll have a structured learning around to continue to push you even if you feel lost. You’ll meet plenty of people who are also looking for their path in life, and it will make your path seem less scary, which will allow you to try new things and experiment, ultimately figure yourself out. You can continue to explore who you are and what you want your whole life, but spending a few years working at department store/ coffee shop etc. while you figure things out is a waste of time. Going to college doesn’t stop you from doing things that you want to do you, you’ll just have to be more frugal with you time.When I hear this question, it usually comes with a undertone some money issues. If you’re wondering if it is a waste of money, it is not if it’s a marketable major like STEM majors.If you can’t get into a good school and get financial aid, I would say resort to more creative methods. Ex: teach yourself to code, how to make YouTube videos, start a business, fail, learn, repeat. I would say the lack of structure in this option makes this harder than just working hard because it is very easy to just sit back and not do anything without the sense of urgency like exams.Whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Have a plan, execute, learn.
Can I go to college even though i'm poor?
I have been dying to go to college for a very long time. I'm not a 4,0 student, but I have a 3.44 GPA and I have gone through a lot just to keep that up. I don't want to go to a school like Harvard, but I do want to go to a university or an art school right after college. No one in my family has gone to college and gotten a degree so it means a lot to me that I have the chance to go. But while looking at the prices, I feel really crappy because I have no idea how i'm going to afford it. My mom has an annual income of $4,000. Neither of us have jobs so I couldn't even try to get a loan because it would be impossible to pay off. I know that I will get some grants for college, but 10k would only pay for a semester :/ I heard that poor kids can go to college for free as long as they have good grades, but I can't find any articles or information on college websites that says it's true. I have been dreaming of going to a university in San Francisco forever and I have been working so hard as well, but I think I might have to kill my dream if there aren't any ways for me to go for free. If anyone has any info about how I could still go to a university, I would be very appreciative of that, thank you!!
Should I apply to more than 1 college even if I know where I m going for scholarship benefits?
You should apply to schools you can afford -- those that have the best programs to prepare you for your chosen career. If you don't know what job you are preparing for, you shouldn't be going to college. If you decide to expand your applications, be sure to amend your FAFSA and add those school codes, or the schools won't receive your FAFSA eligibility information. Of course, it is the school (not FAFSA) that determines what aid you will be offered. You are wise to consider comparing multiple options, because some schools are less expensive than others, some have more money than others, and you may be more likely to receive aid from a school that focuses on the major field of study you are choosing.
Should I go to College in Hawaii?
Hawaii colleges have some excellent programs in tropical agriculture, marine science, engineering (some), international business and other areas. It is OK in most other areas, but excels in multi-cultural aspects such as psychology, social work and other areas. I got two degrees in political science and I greatly enjoyed the six years at community college and the Manoa campus. I later attended an Ivy League school for business, so it really depends on YOU as to how far you go. There are two other major colleges here--Hawaii Pacific U and Chaminade U (a Marist college). They also have areas of excellence, at Chaminade their forensics program for instance. There is also a pharmacy school at UH Hilo, which is a much smaller city than Honolulu. Living expenses are high, although there are dorms available. Out of state applicants are a slightly higher percentage now, so you would have a good chance at UH Manoa if you chose to go there.
I’ll answer this in several parts.It depends on what you want to do. My step-father has no college at all. Yet, he runs his own retirement planning company and makes well over three-hundred thousand a year. However, it took him over a decade to get to that point. If it wasn’t for having his own tax business prior to that, it may have even taken him longer to establish himself. There are ways to get around college. Trades will make you the most money right out of training. Especially if you are an electrician or pipe-fitter or something along those lines. However, there is little advancement. I’ve known of an electrician to start his own company and make a killing but it took a couple decades.College will allow you to move up the chain and depending on your circumstances, those people who were making solid money in trades will be making less than you because of having an education. However, office life is not for everyone.Going to college or university will allow you to network. Believe me, this is huge. Especially if you join a fraternity. Having those friends will help in the long-run. You never know who you will be asking for favors down the line. Knowing who you know is more important than what you know.Education is not a terrible thing to have. I’ve never known of anyone to curse being educated. Is it costly? Better believe it is. I’m going to the university that all the Ann Arbor rejects go to and it’s still one of the most costliest programs in the Midwest. But the name recognition and having the education will prove me better than not having it.Ultimately, its up to you. Some make it without education but many more fail without it. Especially with the hiring standards these days. All depends on what you want t0 do with your life.
You don't have to.If you are happy making fast food, or an unskilled laborer, go for it. As a matter of fact, you will be ahead of you peers that dropout of University, or even complete an unemployable degree, and have a mountain of debt.A great alternative to careers requiring a 4 year degree are the trades. Trades can pay well, and give you the opportunity to run your own business, however they will require you to attend trade school and get on the job training.You also could be an entrepreneur and be your own boss. The downside to this is that you are apt to fail unless you have a guidance, educate yourself, and/or are lucky. The school of hard knocks can be very expensive…
