I can understand that. However it's a bit different when you were on your own for 10 years, and have accumulated a house worth of stuff that you consider valuable and want close by that has to sit in storage, open to the elements. :ugh2:

I want my own space again.

Yeah at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you do what you want and what's best for you. Good luck :tiphat:

I had a talk with a recruiter from McDaniel College in Westminster about a scholarship they offer to members of my honors society where you'll get 18k per year, so long as you were a member of the society, and maintain a 2.8 or higher GPA. I have a 3.85 now. Should be a 3.9 after this semester.

But basically with this scholarship, FAFSA aid, and the GI Bill, I should have a good chunk of change to cover tuition. The next question is stay living at home, (30-45 min drive) or live on campus (freedom!!!).

So I have to schedule a campus tour to talk to different advisors about different issues I see, and if they can answer my question and calm my worries... I'm wondering why not? A Private school Bachelors certainly looks better than a CC Associates... Right? :ugh2:

The rest of that, including GPA and Honor Society, matters less to getting a job than knowing what you're doing and knowing people in the profession. It may be worth your while to pursue internships in your chosen field before you get out of school. I don't know, though.

Couldn't have said it better. That's def the advice to follow. The school and degree you earn as well as any practical internships/experience/certificate (in your field of study) hold tremendous value and will make a difference in yours starting salary in comparison to other candidates ;)

Yeah baby! Let's do this.

BTW can I borrow $10,000 I have this great investment idea and I SWEAR it will work this time! They said I could limit my risk by selling a put and selling a call. I don't even have to own the stock! How great is that?

Boy, Birdman, we're gonna be rich!
