Hey so I told my dad that my back up plan if I don't get into uni is to do a small business course at TAFE (kind of a technical college?) and open up a comic book shop. His reaction was way more positive than I expected! "... Yes, well let's just hope you get into uni then." When I told my mum she pretended not to hear me. Woo supportive parents!

I was just reading an interesting article about choosing a college:

The funniest part is how in the made-up decision spreadsheet it includes the category "Pretty Coeds?" and one school is rated "As seen in Playboy." And then the hypothetical student's mother has a fit when she sees that category on the grid. lol
Elizzybeth:
Decision matrixes are really useful in general, actually. I've used them to make all kinds of major life decisions, from "should I skip high school?" to "which boy of the two who've asked me out should I accept?" Making one helps me feel confident that I've actually weighed all the options I wanted to weigh--and then, if I disagree with the answer that comes out, I realize that I actually do have a strong feeling in one direction (which makes it easy to make the decision for that reason).
So if you're picking between some colleges, I second Joe's recommendation.
Jimmy the Squid:
I usually flip a coin for that kind of thing. If I'm not happy with the result I know what it is I really want. This has never failed me. I assume this will fail me when I am presented with more than two options.
