End of my first semester in college is coming up. Like other students fresh out of high school, I'm tired of being broke. Parents are offering money if I go full time, but that idea doesn't satisfy my need to feel independent. It probably wouldn't be that much anyways. Part time is more relaxing, maybe with a part time job. I'm tempted to say put college on hold for a semester and work a full time job to save up money, because I've had it with 12 years and counting of being stuck in a desk being forced to listen to "an expert" with slides. I don't know quite what to do, but I know I don't want to live with my parents forever, and be broke for the next three and a half years.

Forget college loans, they need life loans for students! So, I'm really confused, don't really care about the "statistics" of how supposedly once you stop college, oh you won't go back till you're 35. That may be true, but I'd like to think that I'm the type of person that can have the discipline that can make the money for a semester, be happy, and go back over the summer or next fall. College is more of an investment isn't it, that doesn't pay off until you're done, and later? Well what if I invested in myself for the adventure of it? Then, maybe I'd be more happy with being in college.

I feel that I'll probably be more motivated, and just more satisfied by doing this. That I would have explored the outside world and gained a piece of it!

So I'm thinking, continue do Accounting 2 next semester before I forget it all, the Nooblet College Success Skills, and a couple of courses online for part time. That would be part time with about 12 credits, with a part time job. Either that or go full out with online/in person 18 or 20 credits to get it over with for the next few semesters. Or, once again, work full time, and wait till over the summer or next fall.

If anyone has some real life experience, or can relate, feel free to share! Help! haha.

i understand a little of what u r going thru now - a dilemma. But for me, I would actually study something that i really like full time. this is because i know what i really want to do in life though i just don't know where to begin but i'm sure everything will be alright. i have confidence in myself. although i'm staying with parents and i wish i'm 100% free, i don't let my environment to control my freedom of movements and thoughts. i do what i think it's good for my future and myself.

see you around in life

Do not be tempted by the demons of making money. You are going to school so that you can secure a better income and lifestyle when you are done. You have only just begun... stick in there and just work part time. Apply for financial aid and see what type of assistance you can receive from school. After your 3rd year in college apply for interships so that you can guantee a high paying job upon graduation.

Yes...
I would reccomend to stay on in college


I would go ahead with what kkama said also if you could get a job on ur campus, and /or work over the summer, that would work a lot better


I've been dealing with this mess 3 years... and I've been through a number of things already. hell, I was nearly kicked out b/c of an fafsa error last year.. and I gotta go get a hold taken off my account now for fees that I owe or sum mess.. its funny though, ur actually near where my other choice for college was, at ODU...
