PAYING FOR COLLEGE IS STRESSFULLLLLLLlllllllllllllllllll > : |

Just had to put this up.


I just think it's ridiculous how so much emphasis is put on obtaining a well-rounded education, but yet it's financially hard for most people! Grrrrrrr

    If I could go back in time, I would skip college.

    I'm still paying for my vocational school loan and I graduated in 2000. My son started the Art Institute in Seattle and he's still trying to find scholarships to help pay for college and looking for another job. I hope he can find another job because unfortunately there's no way I can help him because of too much credit card debt.

    I worked for 8 years after highschool and then went to college. Got two completely random degrees (Art History and Religious Studies) and went back to work in manufacturing. The thing is, I get paid WAY WAY more because I have a college education. I would be making $5-$10 less now if I hadn't gone to college.
    I also owe $48k in college loan debt, but thats another story.

    The one about you can't do anything with the degree once you get one. LOL That one.

    Back when I was in college (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) I used to find some respite in the keg stand. It's like yoga.

    LOL!! You guys are funny :P So far I owe 22,000 for my first two years, it's going to be like 36,000 including my junior year. Sigh*** -___- At least i have more scholarships/grants than loans but still :( But at least, when you're in grad school the payments gets delayed. What if I study for the rest of my life and that way I never have to pay : D HAHAH

    I'm definitely thinking of joining the national guard so that they'll pay off most of my school loans (besides, it'll be another excuse to stay in shape :smile: ).

    As far as graduate school, I cannot say enough about graduate assistantships, they pay for your school and give you a stipend, double score!
