2. If we choose to skip a year of college, what activities could replace the college experience as well as increase our skill sets for a future job opportunity or coming back to school? (explain your reasoning)
3. If instead of going to college, we decide to attend trade school rather than a regular college, what are the benefits and the costs of doing so? would you go back to college afterwards? (explain your reasoning)
