I love how we're all confused americans in the comments because highschool doesn't teach us this stuff lol

[@vaniang4229]

I'm only here because I'm a high schooler writing a college story for a minor competition xD

[@samuraijosh1595]

Not just you guys. Asian here, most Asian highschools don't even care to tell us this stuff. They told me *you'll learn when you grow up* .... And I have grown up... what the heck has changed......? 😥

[@lalajean452]

Not only americans . Im an asian and have no clue about college , i want to ask people 'cause i dont want them think im a dumb person .

Just graduated highschool ,17 and clueless. Like they just gave me my diploma and ditched. I don't think most people in my year knows how college works. Schools don't teach us

[@no-fc9tp]

Psht, this is so me. I am still lost in what to major in and the likes of that lol Wish they gave a small class of the process of college to make things easier 😞

[@grubber]

It scares me how little I know about all of growing up and school

[@Hugo-tf5tf]

How are you doing now bro? I’m 17 and I’m finna graduate soon… help 🤣

[@IamINERT]

@@Hugo-tf5tf I survived I am now 19. After HS I took a gap year, moved to my dad and I am now doing my 2nd year in communiity college I think I'll get my associates then transfer to get my bachelors

[@MissMurder.]

I don’t understand majors,bachelors and associate degrees. Your video was very helpful though!

[@carl___________]

Ok so a major is a field or topic you would like to get more in depth with. As in, something you would probably like to have a profession in; For example, engineering, economics, etc... A bachelor’s degree is a certificate indicating that you are well educated in that major; this helps employers know that you have acquired the knowledge and skills that they are looking for. An associate’s degree is the basic learning given to a student after high school. These last 2-3 year and are performed in community colleges. In fact, a lot of community college students transfer to a four year college (even after they obtain their associate’s degree) and complete a bachelor’s degree.

[@Coryiodine]

@@carl___________ do bachelor certificates expire after a while too? If you go for something and change your mind, can you just keep getting different bachelors in different subjects? Or is there a limit?

[@mikewazowski2347]

@@Coryiodine well, you only live around 100 years, but you also have to have money, so

[@artthatsit4947]

I just turned a Junior in highschool and have always wanted to go to college. But no one would tell me what to do or what happens (just that I need to go). This was soooo helpful.

[@WaddleDee_Darling]

im a freshman and as I'm getting closer to sophomore year it really had me thinking about how colleges work ty for this🦋

[@nicole-ip2po]

THANK YOU!!!1) At what grade do you start to sign up to colleges?2) Can you use the same resume for every college?3) What do you need to do in order to sign up for colleges during high school?

[@djcarver6330]

Never to early to start preparing! For me, the earlier the better.

[@Icewallowcome540]

How to decide what college you want to got to?

[@lemonzest933]

consider your options based on your high school scores & gpa, then compare them with the requirements to any school you might think would fit you. you should search up videos and websites that describes the qualifications for those colleges.

[@tylermiddleton5925]

[@jaydelacruz5656]

I have a question, if you graduated k-12 can you choose whatever courses you want to study like engineering, Computer science, etc. Or does it depend on your strand? Example I have decided to take ABM to prepare for accountancy in college and then when I reached college I decided to study civil engineering instead.
