Some people say it's best to wait because a lot of people aren't mature enough to deal with college right after high school. Since they aren't mature enough, they don't realize how easy it is to fall behind in classes, especially when many college classes don't meet everyday and assign homework everyday and expect you to study on your own. Also, not everyone can afford college, so they need to work after high school to build up enough savings to attend college. However, some people are mature enough and have the money or are willing to take up the loans, so they choose to attend college right away so they can get started on their career path sooner as they will be able to graduate at a younger age and start working full time at a decent job sooner.
