Fuck College!

i was in the same situation until i was able to find a private loan at the last minute. Good luck!

 

take as many classes as you can afford at the community college. They run about three hundred bucks a piece, I think. You could start winter quater, if you don't have enough for one class, and work some dead end jobs to save up. It should be easier to get financial aid when you are older, and they do not take your parents income into account. So, you may have to put off university for a while, but just plug away at your A.A. until then. Good luck!

 

I live in Uruguay, and the State's University is completely free. It's a third world country, but the education is exellent. You could come and live and study for.... MMhhhhh, let me thiiiink...500 dollars per month, maybe less.

 

That is the worst advice I have heard in quite some time.

Are you a recruiter?

Go away if so, no one wants to become cannon fodder.

The army does not pay for college for most kids, that is a convient little lie they concoct to get more cannon fodder, since they are under their quota these past few years.

The military contract guarantees nothing. The Department of Defense's own enlistment/re-enlistment document states, "Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay allowances, benefits and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment/re-enlistment document" (DD Form4/1, 1998, Sec.9.5b).

Advertised signing bonuses are bogus. Bonuses are often thought of as gifts, but they're not. They're like loans: If an enlistee leaves the military before his or her agreed term of service, he or she will be forced to repay the bonus. Besides, Army data shows that the top bonus of $20,000 was given to only 6 percent of the 47,7272 enlistees who signed up for active duty.

Money for college ($71,424 in the bank?). If you expect the military to pay for college, better read the fine print. Among recruits who sign up for the Montgomery GI Bill, 65 percent receive no money for college, and only 15 percent ever receive a college degree. The maximum Montgomery GI Bill benefit is $37,224, and even this 37K is hard to get: To join, you must first put in a nonrefundable $1,200 deposit that has to be paid to the military during the first year of service. To receive the $37K, you must also be an active-duty member who has completed at least a three-year service agreement and is attending a four-year college full time. Benefits are significantly lower if you are going to school part-time or attending a two-year college. If you receive a less than honorable discharge (as one in four do), leave the military early (as one in three do), or later decide not to go to college, the military will keep your deposit and give you nothing. Note: The $71,424 advertised by the Army and $86,000 by the Navy includes benefits from the Amy or Navy College Fund, respectively. Fewer than 10 percent of all recruits earn money from the Army College Fund, which is specifically designed to lure recruits into hard-to-fill positions.

Lets stop spreading lies and pretending that the army is a viable solution or something to do with your life. It is not.

 

See when you get a recruiter, don't beat around the bush or be at all indesiceve. They feed on it and work off of it. They are maggots.

NO FUCK OFF! Period.

 

eh it depends on the college you go to.

In France university is cheap, sure

But ever try getting into grand ecole? Just as bad as the US as far as price.

And the GE degree is favored way more than a university degree, sadly. It is almost unfair. It is very tough for a highly gifted lower class student (or even middle class) to get into GE. I have a friend from Finistere who says she is the only farm girl going to GE in a joking manner. But it is true in many ways, You are generally rich if you go, and sadly that is what a lot of high paying jobs obviously favor.

England and Australia are also expensive, which are two of the three most viable soultions for English speaking Americans. Canada I am not as sure about in regards to out of country students.

On the other hand, Holland is very cheap for even out of country residents.

edit: saw this

It's more expensive in Canada if you're from abroad.

so yah, Canada, England and Australia, the three most viable options, are all expensive. Maybe Ireland or New zealand? Haha, most people speak English in Netherlands/Denmark and even Norway/sweden too. I think Sweden is known to be real cheap for everyone too.
