Unhappy Does school ever end?

So I am looking at my transcript's and my credits just to quadruple check I'm taking all the classes i need to graduate. holy crap, Am I ever going to get out of college? i swear I am going to be stuck in school my entire life. i just want to get out and be a real person and not have to every 4 or so months create this insane schedule of classes then also try and get enough ours at a job to be able to pay for stuff! some one tell me its worth it again and to stop bitching and just do it, please.

Took me 6 years.

I'm starting to forget how shitty school was though, because I'm considering a MBA next year.

A good job/money is worth it though. Just drink more, it helps.

Be careful with that. Lots of my friends did it and they are now over-educated and under-experienced int he job market.

They are SCRAPPING to find jobs.

Experience then MBA. I promise its easier. Plus, getting into a good MBA program is way easier with real work experience and they prefer this.

Not having any responsibility besides passing class.

Bars 4 times a week.

Living in the same town as your GF.

Having all your best friends around you?

That dos not suck

Being 2 thousand miles away from everyone I love.

Working a boring job.

Going to bed at 10 and getting up at 7.

Having bills.

I promise, being 21 and in college is > than being an adult.

I would trade my Z in a heart beat to go back.

I wouldn't stop before I got my degree, but the experience I'm gaining with my job will pay 10 fold when I go back for my MBA. I can see how the things I learn can be applied in the real world.

Plus, you see how easy school really is after having a real job.

That doesn't wok either. I still go to school after 12 years of active service. At least it is free.

Yeah what ever. I rather be home playing with the play station, chasing girls and the other reasons posted above than going on deployments.
