One 19-year-old says she got into Caltech, UC Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon. She chose none of them:
In the spring of her senior year of high school, Malavika Vivek had four choices: Caltech, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, or solutions architect at software company Avasoft Inc.Vivek had been working for the company part-time while at a magnet engineering-focused high school in Edison, N.J. When she was offered a full-time position, she couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
About one in five Gen Z and young millennials say they may choose not to go to college. Many others see a less conventional path through education as a good idea. Over 30% of Gen Z — and 18% of young millennials — said they have considered taking a gap year between high school and college. While college attendance has risen from 14.8 million two decades ago, the NCES expects it to remain relatively steady over the next five years. But the $1.5 trillion in student debt has given younger students pause for thought.
About half — 49% — of young millennials said their degree was ‘very or somewhat unimportant’ to their current job. Vivek said she was studying “almost college-level” engineering in high school but never thought skipping out on college was an option until the summer after her junior year. That summer, she conducted computational biology research at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital.
Life without college Since starting full-time at Avasoft, Vivek has been “extraordinarily happy,” she told MarketWatch. “I feel like I fit better in the ‘real world’ than I did in school,” she said.
