Well, I did the same. But it took me 8 years, with work and all to finish. Got through 3 but that last year was a real bear, as I’d exhausted what I had saved up.
It’s tough when you’re 21 in the centre of the recession out there, looking for a job to finish up your schooling. I ended up eventually moving back and enrolling in an entirely different school. But I finished with zero debt.
You’ve seen how well the economy has done since 2000. That’s been my whole working life, so thanks boomers. Really appreciate what you’ve done. 12 years later, still hoping, still praying that the boomers will be done giving us the shaft so that we can finally move on with our lives.
But we shall see. The lineup of Newt - Romney - and the O, means another wasted 4 years. What a pity.
My kids tell me most the kids in school with them are way left of center dems that don't actually have a clue how life really works.
I always remind my son that when I was in my first year at Penn State, my number came out in March, #31 and they took up to 95 out of 365 in those days; deferments until the end of that current semester. Needless to say come Jan 2nd, I was on my way to Ft Dix, and within 6 months overseas; but it actually made me the conservative person I still am. Reason is I saw the filth, poverty, violence, and lack of the freedoms we take for granted. Coming face to face up close with leper beggars will make ya think pretty quick. So, ya know, even with all the problems; we are truly blessed right here in America and never forget that.
Something else, been married 27 years, made more made less throughout all those years; it has never had any bearing on our happiness. All the toys don't amount to much in the end, only family counts when you leave this earth. Keep that in mind and you'll end up fat & happy.
