    I'm 15 and a high school sophomore honors student. I was presented a offer where I go to college on Saturday during the school year and the summer from 9am to 2pm Monday through Thursday during my junior and senior year. In doing this I will earn 24 college credits that are transferable. Best of all, it's paid for. Should I take on this offer?

    What does this have to do with reef keeping?

    It's in the bucket. The bucket has nothing related to reedkeeping.

    this may sound rude but you would be dumb not to. HS diploma doesnt get u anywhere anymore take the free schooling where u can and run with it its a hard world u need to get what you can

    yes! Get as many credit hours as you can before you actually "go to college." I'm in my 4th year and am just now taking my english/history classes lol go ahead and get those out of the way so you just have to take the interesting classes.

    That is why it is on the bucket.

    Im a freshmen in college, And yes I would definitely take on the offer if you think you can handle it. Going back and forwards and the work and such.

    24hrs of credits is almost a year of college... That's like 11,000 dollars right there. (GOD dang.... that's a lot of money now thinking about it..)
    If I had that opportunity in highschool I would definitely take it!

    24 college credits free of charge while you are in high school... Its a no brainer.

    I can think of MANY reasons to do it but cannot think of one reason not to except the offer.

    Anytime you have a chance to better yourself, do it!

    The only not free thing about it is that I have to buy my books ($50-$150 per).

    Dude im 33 years old and have 2 masters, if i get an offer now to go back to school for a year w/o paying tuition ill take it.
    think about it this way, you'll have a full year head start on all your class mates and at least 5 years less of school loan. (considering it will take you this much to pay back your loan)
