Possibly the stupidest thing I have read all day. yes think for your self and it will totaly compensate for college. let us know how that works out for you in about 10 years.

Kind of cool to see college grads on here. I hope to find a company to pay for a 4 year.


i always think its funny to see people say things like above and "---- the CC company. Im only paying the minimun payment every month so thats what they get" then they cant figure out why they owe like 15 grand due to interest on that providian card like 5 years later. if you pay 35 dollars a month off your loan then either
a) your loan is for 789 dollars or
b) you will pay off your loan possibly before you qualify for Social security. Possibly.

Probably didn't set his expectations that high for us regular HMT folks.

I have 2 years done and plan to get back this spring. No loans for me, straight up cash, which is why I haven't been in a while.

Going for double major in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering, with tons of classes in chemistry and psychology Hoping to be so balla on my own that they'll only serve as "backup plans" in case things go sour.

I know the cost of tuition has gone up considerably in the last five years (60% at my current institution), and I understand Bush has yanked a lot of federal college money out of the system, but I don't understand why people can't pay for this ---- out of their pocket? Student loans are only needed if you want to go to someplace prestigious (1% of students) or you want to go out of state where you don't have residency to get away from your parents (99% of students). People are just lazy, or clueless.

True and agreed. my cousin is currently paying her way through a teaching degree at VCU and VCU aint cheap.

i went to university and got a bachelor's degree, then figured out i'd need to go to college to get a job. so i did my apprenticeship... wish i'd done it the other way around, then i could have went to uni for something to compliment my trade. :P

12th grade drop out.. i had a kid and money would be more helpful to support a child than 8hrs in school..

how the ---- do you expect people to swing 10 grand a year when they only make 8k working 30 hours a week
