Interesting. I'm obviously American. I guess the larger point is that the period in your life from the age of 17-18 to about 21-22 is pretty important (or is that just my American showing again?)
- ichverstehe 16y agoYou are right, I think. What I was trying to say is, a lot of the people recommending college in these situations cite the "life experience"—which I wholeheartedly agree with—but, that might not be coupled to college :)
- jkap 16y agoThat's what I've been seeing a lot too. Almost everyone recommending college over the jobs are life, not potential career benefits. I'm American as well, btw.
- damoncali 16y agoPut another way, what I'm saying is that what you call "life benefits" actually are "career benefits". There is a big picture coupling of the two. Don't short change your life experience - it may or may not be at college, but the job offer is a red herring. As they say - "Youth is wasted on the young". Wrap your mind around that and live your youthful days to the fullest. Prove them wrong.
