College?????????????

One of my best friends doesn't want to go to college...we only have 98 more days until we're done with high school and I want to try to convince her to go to college, but nothing I tell her helps, she wants to be a writer and lives in a poor family......any suggestions?

College?????????????
If a person doesn't want to go to school then they would do poorly. College is over rated anyways. Look at the highest unemployment. College grads.
Reply:Advice - yeah, mind your own business. College isn't for everyone. It's her decision not yours.
Reply:It wouldn't be a good idea for her to go to college if the motivation isn't there. She might decide later in life to go back to school.
Reply:You can't force somebody to do what they don't want to. If she feels that is the best path for her, let her be - it's her life. Plenty of successful and brilliant people never got a college degree - if she has talent and ambition, she will find her own way.
Reply:Its nice of u caring for ure friend and thinking of her future but its really up to her, u know? While u will be making the big bucks..she will later realize that she should have listened to you, if she doesnt want to then its her loss! Stay more concerened about ure future!
Reply:Try to talk with her parents.This may work in your favour.
Reply:if she doesn't want to go to college that's her problem and not yours. don't get involved. maybe she has reasons that you can't comprehend -- maybe she can't afford it and she is too embarassed to tell you.





also, if she wants to be a writer, college isn't going to help. you are either a writer or youre not. there is nothing college can teach you about being a writer. how well you write is strictly dependent on you.
Reply:sometimes in life you must stumble and fall first..





life experience is the best teacher...





let her realize on her own that she is not goign to get very far without a lousy piece of paper...and she will be beggin to go...
Reply:tell her to go to Florida
Reply:Let her be a writer, you can't force her to do anything- it's her life. You will make other friends, I promise :)
Reply:uh maby she cant afford college at this time so she doesnt dream that dream because she knows its not possible. encourage her to start at a community college where it affordable, apply for financial aid, and fill out a FASFA, which is for government grants.
Reply:Try to convince her to take some courses at a community college. also, colleges have newspapers she can work at so she can make money and go to school. oh yes and being poor can be a benefit in school. (unlike me, you are able to get free money!!)
Reply:just cool buddy %26amp; don't forget ,by joining College surely you will be a better writer.so don't waste your time.
Reply:You have to appeal to her sense as a future writer. Tell her that there are techniques she can learn not to imrpove her writing, but in order to get the attention of all those publishers she's going to be submitting stuff to.
Reply:People will go to college on their on will and time. The only thing you can do is just too encourage her but DON'T PUSH IT so much.
Reply:Get others with you to try to convince her. She needs to know that other people care about her future, and by not attending college, it disapoints her family and friends.


If she is still bold on this, i suggest you should allow her to do so, trying to be as supportive as you can though.
Reply:If she dosen't want to go, then she doesn't want to go. There is not a lot you can do. First, its her decision, second its her parents, and third its you. But, what you can do is try to persuade her by telling her all the great things you guys would do at college!
Reply:Well college isnt for everyone, maybe you can convice her to go to a few classes at a nearby community college. If she is in a poor family and money is her problem tell her to fill out a FASA form she will probablly get a good amount of money. If its the work she doesnt want to do then show her the pros and cons of going to college, or show her the gaps in her plan. Does she have peices of work that she has written and published? Does she have an agent? Suggest doing courses at least until she has published something.
Reply:If her family does not have that much money, maybe she is nervous about paying for school. Why don't you mention scholarships or grants you have heard about (make sure you are subtle). Perhaps she doesn't know what is available to her.
