Good. That will carry you through. School is pretend, work is real. Eventually...others will rely on you...it gets to be more of a burden and you will disappear more. But that is not a bad thing. Eventually you are gone and only other than you remains.

 

Young people deploy too.

 

it's worth it when u are 50 years old and not havin to work at MC'D's

 

sounds familiar

good part is...i actually have money now (not like in college)
but i'm finding it hard to get myself to go back to school for a higher degree

 

Fixed for ya. But I'm only 20 lol

 

A B.S. today is the standard, as a high school diploma used to be 30+ years ago. You really can't do anything worthwhile today without it. I am in my last semester of my 5 year college career and graduating this May. Then I start a 4 year doctoral program for Audiology...school is seemingly never ending!

Stick with it man, plan for the future. Besides, fast cars aren't cheap

 

I was talking about younger people, high school and younger.

 

Ohhh ok, just makin sure I thought you meant young like me.

 

The longer you are in school the better.

 

+1! I miss college so much. I sure don't miss being broke though. I still wish I'm 18 and starting college all over again. I'd do the same stupid shxt that I did with no regret. That was the good life.

 

eh i took 2 years off and worked. now I am back in Grad school......

<====== Currently righting a 25-50 page paper due tomrrow ( some things never change )

 

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

I was the worst procrastinator ever.

 

there's always more time to procrastnate.......

i have honstly learned how to budget my time well, some times, most of the time i try and get things done as soon as they are assigned. but if i dont then im looking at 1 program, 2 tests, 2 papers, all due the next day. and working till 9:30 the night before :-/

 

ninja edit: comp sci? where are you studying CS?

ENJOY COLLEGE! You know all those old people that stare at your friends and say "Man if I was only [something] years younger..."? You don't have to be that guy!! Live it up!

 

Righting papers sucks! You gotta make sure your grammar is write.

Truthfully, life sucks. The military sucked, college sucked, and corporate America is just a joke. I would give my degree back if I could erase my loan debt. But what would I do then?

 

Yup, it's worth it. Especially if you get a decent career right out of college and this is coming from somebody who endured 7 years of college (BS + MA). However, here's the downside: Every morning I get up at 5am to fight through NASCAR like traffic, rush to get a seat on the Metro - only to sit next to some big fatty trying to squish me into the window. Get to work around 7:30-8-ish, and have to sit through boring *** staff meetings, presentations, blah, blah, blah. Usually so busy I eat lunch in front of my computer, (some folks are so busy they forget to even eat lunch) get off around 4-5-ish to head home and do it all over again for four more days.
Point is, college has some perks so enjoy them while you can...
(e.g. OP gets to ogle hot college chicks all day , WYZ gets to gag at 50 year old fatties all day )

 

lol that blows. i code for a living so most of my days are spent "working from home" bwahahha

i just got really lucky with having this internship in college and then going full time upon graduating in 2006 wooooo

 

WORD.
Apt description of what life has to offer for you after college. It doesn't all suck though.

 

4 different schools, 2 states, 23 almost 24 and still working on my B.S. at GMU. So the answer is NO school never ends! Life is a continuous school of hard nocks.

 

Sorry Zain, had to do it.
