You Are Education Material

Someone may have told you that "college isn't for everyone" implying that it wasn't for you or that you weren't college material. Well guess what - they might be right. Traditional "college" may not be right for everyone, but everyone has a right to higher education. Higher education is simply education beyond high school. Another way to say it is education after secondary education or post-secondary education. You ARE higher education material. What are your career goals? You can choose your own post-secondary education path to reach your personal career goals.
