I got a lot of grants, so my 5 years of college only gave me $11,000 in student loans. And most of that was used to pay for the dorms. Wish I made better decisions. I never even finished my degree.
lol my first few years were paid by grants, THANKFULLY. I wish we alllll made better decisions.

HOLY ****. Are you serious?!
Yeah unfortunately. I have plenty of friends with higher amounts. Idk how they pay them, we don't discuss it really. They all have kids and 9-5 jobs though.

[insert ranting about affordable education and predatory loan practices here]
And the HUGE boom of "this is the only acceptable life path" for our generation... which includes shitting on the SKILLED labor and service industries. :rage:

YES! I was told go to college, or move out. So I went. Then I was told "You can't get a job with an AA/BA or BFA" and "If you stop now, you'll never go back" so I just... kept going.

Ended up hating teaching (not that I'd be able to afford them on a Prof salary, IF I ever managed to get tenure!) Didn't like working for an editor. Don't want to work in advertisements. The list goes on. Stupid degree, stupid decisions.

Problem. I just opened the account last week. When I checked my statements on my Chase account, it stated, "You have no statements available for this period." I definitely can't wait an entire month to get this money. Fuck, this is so unnecessarily frustrating.
that's what I had to do. :(

My very-close-dude-friend didn't go to University, worked his way up in his industry, now makes more money than I'll ever see in my life, is VERY skilled manually and mentally, and it's so fucking stupid to tell kids that they'll never amount to anything without a degree.

I still owe my high school like $200 for some books I stole.

was it the "Why am I growing hair down there?" or "Why do I get a funny feeling down there when I get around girls?"

I mean I wear mine to get into the spirit of it...but that's my thing.
I got Care Bears and My Little Pony confused for a minute there. I was conflicted until I got it straightened out.

I need a word for TFW a 40 cent study tells you you're ineligible.

It probably doesn't help that I "dropped out" of community college when I DID go back... but again, what the fuck else am I supposed to do when my ex was "sick of babysitting"???

Luckily my mom isn't like them. She's got a degree she worked her ass off for, used a bit, but is happy as fuck in the job she does now. She also understands that the debt isn't worth a worthless degree, and not everyone NEEDS a diploma.

But she also enjoys my broke, PTSD-having ass being here with my kids, so maybe she's crazy :p :wink:
