yeah but idk what im even going to do then if i go to college

Here I'll give you my personal example maybe it will help:

I originally went to college for architecture was going to go to the University of Florida, but didn't think I could get accepted...took a few classes for arch. at a community college... did great but didnt really like it...decided I wanted to be a golf pro...took my Playing Aptitute Test 4 times (missed by 1,2,3,and alot more in sequential order)...went back to school and got my A.A....decided that I needed to go farther college to amount to anything...I like math, so thought I would try accounting and love it...one year later I got accepted to the UF....funny way to get there, but I finally made it...

No one is too stupid for college. The people who feel this way are the ones who just don't apply themselves. College is exactly what you make it out to be. I've gone to some pretty good schools (CMU is #23 nationally right now) and it gives you exactly what you want.

You can be one of the constant workers who study around the clock to nail that A, or you can just breeze by and get C's. Typically, most employers aren't concerned with a collegiate GPA but some will ask for it.

I think a previous poster mentioned CC and that's a smart route. I have a lot of friends who did 2 years at community college and transferred into state schools that they would have had absolutely no shot of getting into straight out of high school. Some people find it embarrassing to say they go to a community college, but I don't think it's a big deal. A lot of people aren't ready for the college experience right away because it's pretty insane.

I couldn't handle the large colleges, which is why I ended up at Gonzaga and Carnegie Mellon. Both schools are fairly small, but offer a great education and have all the resources I could possibly want.

Don't be down on yourself and your only 16 years old, right? Thinking about making tons of money and starting a career shouldn't be the top priority on your agenda. Enjoy life a little and don't be so stressed out. You will have many, many, many years to worry about all that.

yeah man but idk what to do to study for then. i have always wanted to start a shoe store/card shop/sports authority business lol

Truth.

One thing I felt compelled to add though (and saying this from recent experience) DO NOT go the community college route if you plan on a Bachelors degree. HUGE mistake, trust me on this. You will come to yearn for those "break" class electives that you spent up in a CC, while you take all straight major classes wherever you settle onyour 4 year degree school. Also on that note, be very cautious on what classes you take in a CC that will transfer to a 4 year school. It really sucks to take a few classes that end up not transferring to your eventual degree.
