Okay so now I'm weighing out the pros and cons of..

1) College 2 years, 1 year off working, Institute 1 year (Roughly $70,000 with full time work money saved up inbetween)

2) College 2 years, directly to Institute 1 year (Roughly $70,000 with major debt but 1 year saved)

3) College Only, 2 years ($22,000)

4) Institute Only, 1 year ($26,000 plus alot of living expenses)

5) 1 year off working, Institute 1 year ($26,000 plus living expenses but extra money saved for living)


I wouldn't do 1 year off then College though because I've heard taking 1 year off can be hard when you have to try to get back into school mentality. I would do 1 year off before the Institute though just because I'd need to save money for living expenses...
