Ok hi I'm 18 years of age and yes I'm still in High School the reason for that is my other High School messed up my math their wasn't really teaching good so now I go to a different type school like independent school which really helps but from their I haven't to pass the CA.CAHSEE yet . Then after that I'm mostly done with my school just math when I graduate from them (Hopefully) I graduate . but when I leave that school I will have 1 year of math I can't go to Community College because they want 2 years of math can't go to College they want 4 years of math .My question what should i do go to a trade . Do they pay a lot ?Should I go to those commercial schools that come on t.v. are they true like what they say ?My option is this good place to start http://www.pennfostercollege.edu/program... send me mail about joining them in fashion merchandise is that a good move also I love music i want to be behind the scenes in the music thing like Audio Engineer.

First off, I'd say don't be discouraged. Keep working hard and you will get exactly where it is you need and should be. Second..who told you that you couldn't go to community college because of your math? One of my cousins didn't even finish high school and she went to community college. She ended up getting her G.E.D while attending community college, but she was allowed to attend.. she just graduated with her Associates Degree and is going to continue on to get her Bachelors. I must tell you to please do your research and don't jump at the first thing that comes along, you have many other options, like the R.O.P (regional occupational program) they offer alot of different training programs and there success rates are good as well. Those schools that advertise on T.V. are not always cracked up to what they claim to be, you end up having to take out ridiculous loans.. and they over charge for their programs.. I got my nursing degree through the R.O.P program and my friend went to one of those schools on T.V. I ended up only paying in total $2,500. while she had to take out loans because her program was $31,000 and we have the exact same degree. I would visit you local community college and speak with a counselor about you options, at least you can get grants that you dont have to pay back.. sometimes they even help out with money for transportation as well. Weigh all of you options before making a decision, then decide what's best and what's going to work for you. Good Luck with whatever it is you decide...oxox!
