i wish i knew what to do next, high school now what its not like i could talk to someone about it.
I know the feeling....Right now, I'm on the 6 yr plan, for a 2 yr course...Medium/Heavy truck repair...
It's a 50/50 deal between me wanting to finish what I started, and my gf simply saying either show initiative, or I'm gone....And it's working out for me...
Sit down and figure out what you like to do most, and then check on classes that accentuate that....You'll be a LOT more relaxed..
And btw...I'm 23, been married and divorced....And nobody gives me anything but a hardtime...
try to pay your way as you go or find a way to get it paid for because you will be in debt for a long time after, you wont make the big bucks when you get out. you will struggle worse then when you went in, because you have to pay this debt.
no way out of the student loans debt, not even if you file bankrupcy. the state of our country isnt in your favor right now to provide you with a very good chance of paying this back.
its real. its allot of weight to carry trying to pay student loans when no one is hiring and when they are you can give up 1/3rd to 1/2 your paycheck to you loan payments. most people with student debt after they graduate probably make less then minimum wage if you take their student loan payments out of their income.
i made the mistake of thinking i was going to make good money when i got out. and then life happens. you get married have kids, lose jobs, and theres one thing you can always count on, and thats is to have the burden of student loan payments, if you make good money or stuggle to feed your family. government dont care. PAY UP SUCKER.
the reality side of student loans.
some people think student loans is the new form of monetary slavery.

Now, you cannot file bankruptcy......Only way to get loan forgiveness, is to go in for a Dr., nurse, etc....A civil servant...
I have about $10,000 in SL's....And my payment is roughly $85 a month...Not TOO bad...lol

I will say that for me, College was not a waste of time. I am 24, and was asking myself that very same question.
I had a strong urge to take the easy way out and go to a 2 year tech school for auto repair.
I decided to go to college for automotive engineering instead. During the course of school, I worked part time at an auto repair place. By the end of my junior year, my work in school along with my experiences working on vehicles outside of school had landed me an internship With Ford in Dearborn, MI. during the summer. I spent 3 months in Michigan, and returned in the fall to finish my senior year in college where we built and raced a formula SAE car.
About 1 week before I graduated I was contacted with a job offer. It was a salary position with full benefits. I accepted this position and have been at it for over 7 months now and love it. I think back to that day when I made the decision to go to college and I am glad I did.
But my success is not fully attributed to going to college. I am successful because I wanted to be, and I did everything in my power to ensure that I was, including going to college.
Its a fact that on average, you WILL make more money by going to college. So if making money is important to you in your life, then give yourself the tools required to do so: a college degree.

Depends what you're going for. But it seems like a college degree is becoming the new high school diploma, so it can be hard. In my case, I'm going into educational technology so I need a degree to be in such an environment.
I can see why school can be a waste of time and be really
For me it's working out well because at my school, the degree program specific classes are taught by mostly working professionals in the field who teach part time, so learning from real world experience vs. textbook and theory is awesome. You're always going to come across the tenured ones who stand around and pretend they know what they're talking about, but it's not always like that.
Do some research and talk to some advisors to find out the qualifications of their instructors.
