So – I think I’m going back to school… LoL – I *think* because it all depends on how the financing works out – I think the government needs to realize that it doesn’t matter how much or how little you make – there is still no way to pay to go to school out of pocket.<\/P>
\n
I still ask myself why I’m doing this – I mean; I can’t get a better job; this degree can’t make me any more money – I think there are a couple reasons.<\/P>
\n
<\/P>
\n
1) I love to learn – i’ve been reading and studying just about everything I can get my hands on for the last 6 or so years; but I have no paper to show it – I guess i’ve finally decided the paper would be nice.<\/P>
\n
2) I want a Masters Degree – In Divinity – but I can’t get it – until I have a bachelors.<\/P>
\n
3) I’m even thinking of a PhD in Philosophy – but of course, I first need the Bachelors, and then the masters. <\/P>
\n
But the government said, based on my income, I should be able to pay 17 grand out of pocket for this years school – I’m wondering what planet they come from – I could maybe afford about 10 grand; out of pocket; but my kids would have to stop eating… and we’d all have to stop wearing clothes too.<\/P>
\n
So, depending how the financing works out – I’m going back to school. I’m very excited about it!<\/P>
\n
At the same time, I’m wondering how anybody in their right mind could afford to go to school… @ 300 a credit hour – for the number of hours it takes to get a Bachelors degree – my school payment is going to be 800$ a month for 10 years – to pay it back. Most schools are more like 400-500 a credit hour – how can a college grad afford to pay 1100+ a month just on school loans …. I guess the idea is, once you start going to school, don’t stop until you can afford to stop. \ud83d\ude42 [like when you die].<\/P>
\n
We’ll see….<\/P>
