Even some of the guidance counselors aren't supportive. But we're making a big step because we're already inside the field we want to be in, and we're much more prepared for college when we go. The negativity must be hard to deal with sometimes. I'm so much readier for college than some other kids. I'm learning something for my job, and they're learning something so they can go to a four-year college and then get a job.
Some people argue that kids in high school are too young to make a commitment to a job field.
If I don't like cooking later on, I can go to another school and do something else. It's my choice, and I'm not wasting a lot of time or money on one thing.
