There are a lot of different options after completing high school. The hardest thing to do is to decide exactly what you would like to do with the rest of your life. It very often happens that a student will study for a year or two and realize that they have not chosen the right field. Some of these students are capable of dropping out and starting something else or studying a different fields. The reality is that most students cannot afford this mistake and stay in the same field of studies because of financial implications. This is why the majority of the world is doing what they have to do instead of what they want to do. A lot of less fortunate high school students cannot even afford to go study and getting a study loan is not as easy as it use to be.

However, there are a few ways that do make it possible to accomplish your dreams and can put you in the position to be what you have always wanted to be. If you join the army for example, they will pay for your studies and your stay. All they require is for you to work in the army, whilst being paid a basic salary with benefits. They provide you with housing and make it possible for you to get to the university or college where you choose to study. Whether you decide on studying for a chef or even a computer programmer, they will pay for it and give you in service training and the experience to work after completing your time with them. You also acquire a lot of new skills and are trained to be disciplined and respectable. You might wake up earlier than the rest of the students on campus and you will not be allowed to come and go as you please but in the end this sacrifice can change the way you live the rest of your life.

If your dream is to become a pilot, then join a pilot school [http://www.eagleaviation.co.za/] and get pilot training. However, this can also be very costly and not practical for the middle class pocket. Join the air force and get your pilot training trough them. You will also be required to spend a certain amount of time working for them, but if sacrificing your first couple of working year's means that you can have a bright and successful future, then I would say that is time well spent. Where there is a will there is a way. Your financial situation should not make your dreams impossible it should just motivate you to work harder.
