So you can learn to spell your question correctly! (What's the point in going to college?)\n\nSeriously, your spelling tests were the only tests where you were given all the correct answers ahead of time.  Think about it.\n\nPS - There's even spell check on this thing...

Save up before hand. Also you can  get student loans and/or grants and scholarships. Just apply in the financial aid office. I never got a loan but did get both a scholarship and grant (you don't have to pay these back). Also another thing I did was work at the University. You could find a flexible job there that works around your classes and only work up to 20 hours per week.

Success can be measured many ways, happiness, money, etc.  Obviously if you've got a career you want to be happy with it, basicly go after whatever makes you happy.  Is college necessary? No, but it doesn't hurt, and sometimes people don't get jobs even if they do have college.  Basicly, the more knowledge you've got the better off you are, same goes for all the deplomas that say you've got that knowledge.  My advice, find out what your dream job might be and then go after it.

Why don't you ask in your college I guess that they have some jobs helping some students, and you can take the hours that you are willing to give.\nYou don't lose anything.\nOr check in the newspapers sometimes you can find some jobs that you don't need to much time to invest.\nGood luck

Do you live in MI??? Your not the only one. I have been without a job for a while now and I got laid off 3 weeks ago. There is no way you can find a good job these days without some kind of degree or significant experience. \n\nWhich is why I think its dumb. I dont have experience in a lot of things but how do they expect you to get any if they dont hire you and train you and actually give you the chance?

My daughter didn't know what she wanted to do after graduating high school, so spent the next year working in a resort community. After getting to know the police officers there, she started to look into being a police officer. She's now close to graduating from college, and is attending the police academy. What I'm saying is that many kids don't know what they want to be until they get involved with something. Then, their natural talents kick in, and they begin to realize what they're good at. So, look at your talents. What are you really into? What feels more like fun than work? I think it's great to hear someone say that they get to work at what they love and ,oh by the way, they get paid to do it too! When you're excited about your job, you know that that's where you need to be. Whether that's waitressing or wheeling & dealing with corporations, enjoying your job is much better for you all around. Of course, having ANY job now days is better than nothing. I guess you need to look at the reasons behind you wanting to transfer. Don't just go to a college because of where it's located. That can get boring really quick. Look at what they have to offer. Also, look at your own talents. Line up what you have with what these colleges have to offer and see what sticks out. If your grades have been really decent, most colleges would be glad to have you. If your grades weren't so hot, you might consider going to a tech school, and get trained for a specific trade. It's cheaper and quicker. Hope you have much success in your career choice. <*)))><

If you are in school, I say take the job close to home. You don't want to over extend yourself. Have you thought about asking a school counsler or professor to help you find a job in your field. I graduated last year and still get e-mails from professors who are looking for student workers.

Although there are some employers who don't check to see where a degree comes from, any employer who knows you received your degree from basically a "pay to graduate" school will not look at it favorably.  In this sense, it could be a waste of money.  Additionally, you will lack the contacts and references from attending university that tend to help you find a better job.  A better use of your money may be to use a "degree completion" program at your local community college.  You can start with the credits you earned from your two years of college and find out what the fastest degree to get is.  There are many opportunities for adults returning to school, and your life experience and job related achievements may help you even more on this front.  There are many grants, scholarships, and loan opportunities--and attending college does tend to pay off in terms of better earnings and more job security.  I wish you the best of luck!

Short answer, no...\n\nLong Answer: I am a college graduate, having done the traditional after-high-school approach. I have been in the market place for many years so here is my opinion, for what it is worth. \n\nCOllege is not for everyone. Some people should NOT go, only because their head is not in the right place to learn and utilize the knowledge to "learn how to learn". What that means is something you already know. Hard work, perserverance, and theh ability to learn are the keys to success. The college degree is an evidence of that, but not a guarantee. There are many educated derilicts in the world, many from ivy league where the degrees have essentially been purchased with little demand for performance. The party school is almost considered a right of passage, and I think it is a disgrace to all that did it the right way. \n\nAs a person who interviews people for hire, I know that a college degree will be a proof of study, and I admire some schools over others for their ability to turn out good candidates. BUT, the ones with work experience are highly prized, degree or not. \n\nSO,  FOR YOU..\n- If you need an entry level job- get a degree ...YOU specifically  don;t need it for this\n- If you need the education for a particular skill in business, engineering, healthcare- get a degree....YOU do not need it for your own businesss, but it could help you grow. A good book or partner  could help also\n- .If you need to have a need to compete in the workplace for promotion in the future - the degree will be an asset for promotion in many areas - YOU may need it, but not for your own business\n- If you need the sense of self accomplishment - the degree is a source of pride- clearly, YOU don;t need it. \n\nIf you still want one, night school is always available. NOBODY questions whether you partied with the frat boys all day or  worked your @ss off at night plus day. \n\nThe degree can be an asset to a better paycheck, in general...but some have been successful without it. Bill Gates is a college dropout for instance. I do notice that you are working very hard to be successful...will you need to do that all your life? A degree may allow an income without 18 hour days eventually \n\nSounds like your head is on straight, enjoy your life and don't worry about what others think. Your parents understand the conventional wisdom of college degree = success....The problem is, that is not conventional wisom anymore. DO they want the degree for their pride or for yours?

Yes! I think it would be terrible if you didn't atleast pass highschool!  TRUST ME YOU'LL REGRET IT!  There are VERY few jobs out there that are well paying for people without a college deploma... EXPECIALLY for people without a high school diploma.  Just keep your goal of doing well.  Keep giving yourself goals, and fight for them! It will make you feel good! And can help you get a good paying job! :D Hope you make a good choice!

I am taking on-line classes now to get my degree in Business. I want to a college campus for 2 years and as much as I may have liked it, I like taking on-line classes even better. If you are young and this is you first college experience go to a college campus so that you can get that experience, but if you have done that than let me tell you have much easier going to school on-line makes my life. I do not have to take the time to drive to and from campus I do not have to rearrange my work or life to make room and time to study for classes. Because I have all day to do an assignment and I am giving my assignment for the classes before the classes start I can do everything early. If you have a family, job, and a thousand other thing that you have to do each day I say go for it. Some jobs help with the cost mine did but I was also able to get grants. I am to get my degree in December only two years and that was because I had to take refreshment classes and I had to take a break because of the hurricanes.

Paying for college can be difficult, but there are people and resources to help you. You can afford college. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Sure, it's not always easy and it can be expensive. But you can do it.\n\nYou can go through college with less worry if you do a little planning and are frugal with the income that you are assured.  The one question that you should ask yourself is “How long do you want to take to get your degree?”  There is always the option of working your way through school.  You could take a smaller course load, and use the extra time to work.  This will not only help relieve some of your monetary issues, but also improve your resume upon graduation.\n\nYou should also talk with a financial aid counselor at your school.  Every school is different. The Fin Aid department at your school may have special programs geared toward your specific situation that can help you.  Also try doing scholarship, grant, and other financial aid searches online. \n\nScholarshipHelp is a website that explains how college funding works, the types of scholarships available, how to find them and how to apply for them.   I have listed other websites that gives additional information about paying for college. There's obviously no guarantee that any of these sites will work, but it can get you on the right track to getting the information that you need.\n\nBest of Luck.

Hmm, most people I know that go to college have a job help paying for it. If you all help together its a possibility. Or seek a personal loan at the bank

Some are saying that you will go on welfare that is not possible.\nSo they should relax Start with college student assistant and say you need a job , may have to reduce the study load some beginning next semester.

My work doesn't suck. My lack of work sucks! I'm an interior designer with little or no clients!\n\nI went through University and received a Bachelor in History and English Literature.  Besides the fact that I never have to use spellcheck, and always know the answers on Jeopardy, my University Education was a waste of time.\n\nThis is not to say that all university eduction is a waste of time, but you have to make sure you're getting a useful diploma!!!\n\nThen I had to go back to school to become an interior designer!  I'm 29 years old and still have to live at home, because I used up all my money for school, and am getting no money from my job!\n\n(sorry, I really needed to rant!!!)
