damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
I have a degree in logistical transportation
I also have a cert in package handling
all them qualifications, you must be doing it big huh
Nothing is guaranteed, you know this :guccby:. You mean to tell me there's no point in trying because you might not get chosen?But who says they’ll chose your essay out of the hundred other kids that applied for the exact same scholarship
Thats not what I’m implying
I’m 3 years removed from high school I seen the shyt first hand. We’d have “college experts” come in to speak to us
“It’s so much scholarship money out here for minority students
““If you spend time applying for scholarships you’ll go to school for free
“600 kids applying for a scholarship and it’s 10 spots, the odds are against you. I’m just tired of the “free school money” shyt that teens are being spoon fed

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
^ This.The real problem is that the husband spent 101,000 on a for-profit MBA (Walden University)
For profit colleges are a debt trap and nothing more

An English is a shytty degree for one. For 2, if Breh makes it through dentistry school he'll be bringing in $175k a year. Three, it sound like they should've planned things more thoroughly.
I bet it's a lot of dudes talking down about college not knowing engineering, nursing, mathematics, finance, and medicine provide stable careers for the rest of your life.

$718K in debt tho!!!!???Jesus Christ
Dentists on average graduate with half a million in debt, not including costs of starting a practice. General dentistry is lucrative but oral surgeons BANK. Matter fact numbers of md’s applying to dental school increasing yearly, hopes to secure they oral surgery bag.
Getting educated in 2019 does not have to mean plunging yourself into almost $1 million in debt.
The amount of alternatives to the brick and mortar university model that I went to back in 04-08 are vast.
I’m always enrolled in courses through Udemy now for web development. I’ve spent collectively less than $200 on those courses while buying some supplemental textbooks for JavaScript that probably cost another $90. That’s less than the average cost of ONE of my course books at my university back then and those prices are aren’t adjusted to today’s inflation
The education I’ve received by personally taking the responsibility of educating into my hands instead of inserting myself into a predetermined graduate program that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for the sake of “convenience” has been vastly more beneficial in the long run....
And I only have $2000 left on the books for my student loans

Lol who says you’ll finish school although you borrow money? Nothing is guaranteed, but paying them damn loans back. I’d rather take the chance on a scholarship.But who says they’ll chose your essay out of the hundred other kids that applied for the exact same scholarship
People being rocked to sleep and duped into a basic liberal arts degree with no practical applications. 4 year college for acclimatization into that world is one thing. But unless you have family loot to fall back on or at an elite IVY, prospects aren’t great.
Would have been better off working as waiters and skipping school altogether. Debt is CRIPPLING!
