What’s gooing to happen after High School???

Hi I’m DJ, and i was just wondering what it is that im really suppose to do after High School? I mean everyone says if you go to college that you’ll be fine but I’ve seen people that go to college, fail at what they got their degree for, and I’ve seen people that go to college excell at something that they didnt even go to college for. I know from family experience that if you dont go to college you could fail, because my dad died when i was 10 of Milignant melanoma Skin Cancer stage 4, and my mom didn’t go to college, because she was a stay at home mom which isn’t bad but it kinda messed us up for a bit after my dad died. So my mom strugled to be the mom and the dad of two kids a 10 year old son and a 17 year old daughter, and i think if it wasnt for my mom me and my sister would not have made it, my mom was the best person for support through my dad dieing because it was very rough, but my mom made it as better as she could. Also my sister didnt go to college and is having her 2nd kid at age 22, so i dont want to end up like my sister so i feal like i need some help in showing me all the stuff a High School grad could do when they get out of school. So if you could help me leave a comment,,,, Thanks for reading
