Is it normal to not want to go to college?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal not to want to go to college. College is one path, not a requirement for a worthwhile career or a good life.

You might not enjoy school, have other goals, want to work, or simply not know what you want to study. Plenty of people feel that way, and you don’t need to want college just because it’s what others expect of you.

It’s still worth thinking about what you do want next: some careers require a degree, while others can be reached through work experience, apprenticeships, trade programs, or other training. You can also change your mind later. Not wanting college right now doesn’t mean you’re lazy or closing every door.
