 I have been looking to buy a car, but now I am seriously thinking about a career in the Army, and I won't need a car at least in the beginning. said Matt McKee Choices rt OME Should I stay or should I go? Seniors spend part of their year making critical choices. One of these is to go away to college or stay at home and attend a local school or to start a career. Students were evenly split in their choices. Half have decided to attend college. The other half chose to get a job or enlist in the military. Jimmy Walker has decided to stay home and attend the Uni- versity of Missouri-St. Louis. “I don't think I'm ready to go away. Besides Dr. Cleary told me UMSL has a good business school, and I'm interested in a career in bank- ing or in financial planning. “It is cheaper to stay home and go to school, said Tracey Han- nick who plans to attend Missouri Baptist College. “The cost of liv- ing in the dorms is more than I can afford. Diane Rucker hopes to attend Sanford Brown Business College. “I don't want to go away. To be truthful I'll miss my parents too much. I depend on them. They give me advice and remind me what I need to do. I want to experience life on my own, said Franklin Bobbitt. “I want to go away to Jackson State University in Jackson, Missis- sippi. They have a good baseball team, and I might have a good chance of getting a baseball scholarship. Bryan Clay expressed the same sentiments as Franklin. “I just want to be one my own. There aren't any problems at home. We all get along just great. I have cho- sen Bethany University in Kansas because they have a good sci- ence department. I don't know what I want to do, said Timm Courtney. “So I'm going into the Army and then let them pay for my college. “I just want to go to work and get some money, replied Alicia Jacobs.
