“I definitely thought about going to college because those schools are all really good. But in the end, I knew I would learn more discovering things on my own,' this 19 year old says:
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. “Paying for an education in America is ridiculously expensive, and I think that’s a huge reason why a lot of people in our generation are reconsidering if it’s actually worth it,” Vivek said.
“I could either pay money and not get real-world experience, or I could earn money and get work experience,” she thought to herself when making the final decision to continue at Avasoft instead of heading to Caltech.
