writes:For the past few years i have been wondering weather or not i should go off to college, you see i have had a study job working on a farm for sometime now and it actually pays just enough for me to get by on my own, but im not sure if i want to keep doing this job for the rest of my life and higher education seems the only to one day receive a a good pay check, but the thing is if i go to college i will lose by farm job and will have to move back in with my family, which i dont want. one of the reasons i didn't go to college right a way was one my job, too my ACT test scores where always very low. i took the test 3 times, the first time i got a 13. the second time a 12, and the 3rd a 15. i always made As and Bs in school but the ACT mainly because of the time is difficult for me. work is hard to come by where im from so i dont wont to give up my job, but i also dont want to past up the opportunity to make more money. so i am stuck on what to do, or weather i should take the ACT again. should i stay with my current job? should i try and pursue a higher education? thoughts?

Always go to college if you can. Its not just about earning potential but also about finding yourself and new experiences. You will meet new people and undoubtedly your life will follow a new more exciting path. Good luck.

 Have you tried the SAT instead? Some people do better on one than the other. If you have any kind of learning disability you can also get extended time. So that's a way to get a little more time, if you have ADHD or something like that.
You shouldn't give up your job until you have something else lined up, like college. A college degree would probably make it easier to get a job, and definitely make it easier to advance, but you don't want to get rid of your job until you're certain. It's not an either/or thing right now.

 Can you not save money aside from your farm job and at a later date go and do higher education?
that way you wont have to move back home if you have some funds.
I think if you really want to progress , education and experience is the way to go, its what employers seek in the professional career's.
