Fork In The Road: Which Path Do We Take?

In Life their are twist and turns and curves in the road that have us questioning our choices and the decisions that we make. We are taught at a young age that you go to school, graduate, attend college or the military and make a life for yourself. Were told that in order to be a success you have to have a college degree, which is the gate keeper to all our problems and the answer. In truth or theory that is farthest from reality! I mean an education is extremely important and vital to your future, but it's not the answer. You have so many options now to choose from that just by taking continuing education classes, going to technical school, or even the military and on the job training can ensure a successful future as well. Many times as parents, counselors and mentors we don't always tell our children the truth about education. If you are a below average student or one who really does not do well in school, then college may not be the place for you, or if you don't feel that the military is the road to discovery, then maybe technical school or on the job training is the fit for you. You have to know your strengths and your weakness's in order to know the path that is right for you. Why spend several years in college, to never finish or waste your parents money, or why join the military only to be kicked out for not conforming to the man! I mean in the end you do what makes you happy and enjoy your career path, whatever it may be and live your life to the fullest. Remember there are no do overs in life and you only live once.
