It's grauation time where I live; students are completing their grade 12 year and getting their diplomas. 
We've just gotten past that same time here. One of my friend's daughter just got her diploma. Now she wants a car!
I guess that is the next logical step, ha ha! Most students complete their diploma in 4 years here, how about you?
Same here. Of course many then aspire to go off to University. Unfortunately, the costs are skyrocketing while the quality is sagging.
Yes, university has gotten so expenssive. A medical school education now costs over a hundred thousand dollars.
