Kind of. Depends on what country.

You seem like you would do better in women's studies.

Also I'm probably gonna study something like music or literature or go to an acting school because damn, can I not wait to live on minimum income.

What future is there in literature or acting?

I am studying making memes, I already have a extremely hilarious one that would make anyone laugh.

...you lost me already.

Although for serious, it's funny that one can only figure out the basics of making a good meme. Just like all creative media, you're on your own when you need to hit the big screen (or the much smaller phone screen). That has at least been my experience.

I'm also against the idea that one absolutely needs to go to college after high school, especially if it means someone has to get a student loan.

Is there even a choice for a few people other than to go to college or find a job after high school? What would you suggest to me then? I doubt that I have trade schools in my country.

I'm not really familiar with education systems outside of the U.S. and some of Europe, so you'll need to do your own research about that. What should apply universally though is the need for blue collar work, so if vocational school is just not an option look for apprenticeships, skilled jobs like pipe fitting/welding, and stuff like that. It's not the wrong thing to do to go to college, even community college, it just matters what you're studying, if you can afford it, and what opportunities it holds. It's really up to you from there.

I never said there was one.

I don't really know how it works in Germany - where Marina lives - but usually you would need a degree in education before you can just teach. You can't just go right into education if you know how to do something (which is kind of stupid), so it's not really a plan or back up plan for that matter unless you follow through with that route.

Also, I'm currently studying (and finishing my exams in) Law, Psychology and Spanish, but next year I'm taking a 2 year course in Applied Science so I can go to medical school! Literally looking forward to being one of the only girls (and the oldest person) in my class :V

Can't go wrong with med school. Good stuff, Panda.
