GENERAL EDUCATION AND LEARNING SKILLS
This is not a different case for Melanie. Many students have experienced the same situation. However, not every victim of the scenario was lucky to make the right choice. Melanie is fortunate that she is seeking for help to make her decision. I understand that most of the problems affecting our students arise from the design of the education curriculum (Hampf & Woessmann, 2017). Most curriculums do not address the individual interest of students or their talents. That way, you find many students end up in the wrong professions, not because of their choice, but because of circumstances.
However, in the case of Melanie, it is not wise to decide out of unavailable options. According to the description of the problem, no chance of going to college will lead her to the field of computer science. I would advise her to take the truth plane and save time for regretting in future. All courses that are offered in college do not guarantee her qualification to be major in computer science (Hampf & Woessmann, 2017). From that point, my point is that she should opt to enrol in a technical school to achieve her dream. Technical skills are not inferior compared to colleges. The only difference is that technical schools focus on technical skills. However, there is no inferiority in joining a technical school instead of enrolling in a college. More so, Melanie should appreciate the fact that the college cannot help her achieve her goal and therefore she should seek alternative means which is enrolling in a technical school. In the long run, she reaches the same purpose, but more effectively, she takes a shorter and cheap route.
