(Don't go to college unless you legitimately have a passion/calling/connection with your concentration of study. If you don't you'll end up like myself with a degree and no "grown up", big boy job. Also consider at least one school in NY offers rock climbing (I dont think the degrees name is simply rock climbing...) as a bachelors. No joke.

Follow happiness and balance and don't force higher education on yourself just because everyone else does. College doesn't mean you'll end up with a good life partner, will improve at all in climbing, will make any significant sum of money, will bring happiness or your kids will turn out "good")

(off topic post asking if gym climbing grades are comparable to outdoor grades)

(Gym, east, west, single or multi-pitch; its all relative therefore there is no legit answer to the climbing grade question)

(generic comment about the feasibility of asking a legitimate question on Mountain Project, and how I thought it was a forum for helping which is why I asked aforementioned question, but now I realize that it is for a bunch of keyboard humping internet trolls that just want to flame newbies for wanting to learn more)
