Well I'm going back to school!

[TallulahGreen]

I registered for classes, I finally decided I wanted to major in Accounting, so I'm back in school, at the age of 23. I have a ways to go before graduating, especially working full-time as well. Here begins a hard, but furfilling life. I don't care if it takes me 6-7 years to get my BA, but I'll get it done now that I have the proper motivation. Better late than never.

Awesome, congratulations. It is never too late to go back to school! In fact, I have heard from many people that taking a break after high school is a good idea.

I never did that...I started college RIGHT away...summer term after high school...

...and 3 years later I am not even a junior yet! (next term).

It probably will take me 5 to 5 and a half years all together to get my BS...but whatever....

You will be fine!

Yeah...I have been working the whole time I am in school except for like 2 terms total.

Basically I learned that being poor sucks ass...

So I pretty much work full time and go to school full time.

I work 32 hours a week and I am taking 12 credits. 4 days of school a week, and 4 days of work a week. Yay..my life rocks.

fuck, check this out. cuz i'm 28 and i DON'T work, i get paid to go to school. In 2006, I collected unemployment ($6600) and i worked for 1 day and collected $72. So on my tax return for 2006 i earned 6672. But i had money isaved up and shit cuz i knew i was gonna do this. So now in 2007, i get my tuitiona nd books paid for, plus theres enought financial aid to pay my rent and some food and shit. So i just work under the table doing some small accounting work for one of my professors and i make out like a bandit.

Sounds like you got it made.

I don't have to pay for my school, luckily my grandma made a few CD accounts for me before I was even born and now my college is completly paid for.

I am really lucky for that..I just hope I actually can graduate sometime.

everyone in school now needs to fill out the FASFA, theres a lot of free money out there.

FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid

I got financial aid my first year of college, they paid for half of my tuition, it was sweet. Unfortunatly my mom literally made like 3,000$ more the next year, so all they would offer me after that is just student loans..

I am counted under her income until I'm like 24 or 25 or something like that, unless I get married, but then I don't get her free health insurance...

Everything just sucks! :thumbsup: :jointsmile: :hippy:

I've got an open oppurtunity to make it big in accounting.

I'm good at math, my Aunt is the owner of her accounting buisness, and she wants ME to take over. I apparently remind her of herself with my attitude and organization.

I'm just trying to decide..I'm not really sure what I want to do. Work in something with audio, like a Studio Job as Audio Director(which I do in my TV Media class for our News Show project), or a recording type studio. I could also take my chances in science, I'm a genius in Chemistry and love it. But then theres the guaranteed road to success for me in Accounting, Im just not sure if thats what I want to do.

Congrats! I'm headed off to college next year... hopefully I'll be half as motivated at you!:thumbsup:


Keep it up! You'll feel great when you graduate, even if it takes a while. You'll probably earn alot more once you have that degree, too.
