I believe that someone's important goals will affect their after high school plans. Lots of people will want to go to college.

According to my results, more children plan to go to college for the education more than anything else. However, very few chose college for fame.

In my results, my observation was that more children made plans to go to college than I thought, proving my hypothesis to be correct.
|
I found that more young people are planning for a higher level of education, which is a good thing. I think that if young people are using their God-given brains for good, this world could start heading in the right direction. The economic system (the money world) would get better because smart people would know how to fix it.
Also, having future goals can assist in your future choices, allowing you to fulfill your dreams. For instance, if somebody wanted to become a daycare worker, they would most likely go to college to get childcare training or take an apprenticeship job as a daycare worker in preparation for his/her future job.

If I were to redo this report, I would add more questions such as "What would you like to do after High school?" or "What would be your reasons for going to college?"
