Oooooh, this is a toughy. Well, try listing out the Pros vs. the cons and see who beats out who, or pick from a hat, or eenie-meenie-miney-mo, or something like that. LOL, I'm sorry if I'm not much help, but it's hard to answer when I don't know the FULL situation. Erin-  |

Hey BECKY! I was thinkin that would be a good Idea. But at the same time... I don't know. My job has become a real drag lately. But If I base my decision off of that, and then I hate school.... Grrrrrrrr. So many choices! It sounds good. And then, I want ot go to school BAD! I mean I am really excited about it. i don't want to put it off... And then I think, but what If I REALLY don't like it. See what I mean by confused. I can't even keep my ideas in order! |

i donno how much you want to do this.. but i find it odd that your MOTHER brings this up right when you get to where you want to be and have money and feel happy by tossing into a schooling where you will be broke and NEED to depend on her again |

First of all....I don't know what to say! I can't help you at all with the decision. But I will say that I am 26, and I look 18, but every once in awhile the subject is broached and I'm found out! And people act like it's the end of the world that I'm still here. I was faced with the same decision you are making, but I was a little bit younger. I was 20. I could get higher in Hollywood Video and get as far as who will ever know, I won't because I left and did the school. Will it work for me? Will I make something of myself still? Scary. Just whatever choice you make, don't be afraid, because either decision is scary. To go or not to go....Maybe a Jr. College that has transferrable credits for college college and part time. So during the duration of the jr. college trial you'll see if it's still the route you want to go? Good luck in whatever you do.  |

hey miss C-- as a full time college student myself (at the ripe age of 27), I think it is never too late to get a college degree and I think that, as you seem to be a pretty intelligent person, it would be such a waste not to give yourself a shot at it, especially since, as you mentioned, there is only so far you can go with a high school degree. College opens up so many doors for you (if you go about it the right way). So why limit yourself? As others have mentioned, you can take a class or two to start with and see how it goes. I sincerely do not think that it will go terribly for you. And besides that, a lot of companies have programs that reimburse for educational expenses. Maybe yours does, too. You should check into it. You could work part time and get a free ride...that would be a pretty sweet deal. So what are you so scared of? c'mon!  |
