Academic Plan

I have several reasons for going to college. One reason is that I had nothing else better to do unless I wanted to work a "dead end" job the rest of my life. A second reason is for the education. I want to learn and know more about the world and an area of my choice. Reason number three would have to be that the army is giving me $2,000 a month to go to college, so I had a choice to get paid basically a full-time job while getting a cheap education, or receive no money and no education. The choice was simple. I will go to Butler for 2 years, then move on to a university such as Kansas University or Wichita State University to finish my degree in either physical therapy, physical training, or psychology. I suppose my interests and skills will change between now and the time I transfer, but I doubt they will change much. I originally was set on physical therapy but now I am thinking that psychology is more interesting. I also have a personal interest in physical training. Hopefully by going to Butler I will have all my general classes out of the way and a grasp on the concept of college. I should be more organized and I should know what to expect and what to be ready for in the future. If I could go back I'd recommend most of my friends going to juco's to get a foot in the door, for a small portion of the cost.
