Dear Bob, \nThe investment to finance your education will cost you $7500 per year.  When you graduate in 5 years, assuming you have deferred all loan payments, you will owe approximately $47,500.  This may seem like a lot of money now, but consider the improvement in your future earnings after you get your college degree.  If you begin working now at a salary of $19000, after 5 years of 3% annual raises, your salary would be about $22000.  The job you get out of college will pay at least $25000.  If we amortize your loan payments over 20 years at 8%, you will have to pay about $400 per month.  This may be a struggle at first, but you can expect bigger raises (5%) per year with a college degree.  After 3 years, your income will be almost $29000 if you go to college compared to $24000 if you start working now.  This is enough to completely cover the loan payments, especially when you consider that the interest payments on student loans are tax deductible.  Beyond the third year, your salary with a degree will continue to rise faster than if you skip college.  It makes sense not only from a financial perspective, but also in the fact that you are more likely to find more interesting and challenging work with better career advancement opportunities if you get your degree.  Good luck!

My friend got kicked out of college after his second semester.  His parents practically kicked him out of the house after the summer, in which he joined the army, he's still there now.

Well I think that your friend's father should let him go off to college. If your friend doesn't think that the family boat business is where he wants to be all of his life he should sit down with his father and let him know what he really thinks and what he really wants to do in life (which might b not to run the family business).

I came from a family of 5 older brothers and I am the youngest and only  girl. We are very close, and we all have kids that are very close.  We do alot together including going on long vacations together, we take our kids to the park together and 3 of us work together along with our mother and my husband. we work in a large company so we are not that close during the day but at lunch we make sure we at least have that time together.  Also I tried to move away 4 years ago to try and make a better life for my family and I we moved 16 hours away to where living was a lot cheaper but after 2 years we had to come back for my grandmother needed me and after she no longer needed my assistance we decided we couldn't leave again we really need ot be with our family. I have two brothers who moved to the other side of the country but we talk everyday either IM or phone I wouldn't have it any other way and I know they wouldn't either. I myself now have five children of my own

I am the oldest of two children.  So I AM THE ANNOYING OLDER BROTHER!  growing up I did torment my little brother Daniel a lot.  But all he had to do was ask me to stop, and I did.  A brother has to be good. he has to show compassion and understanding.  An older brother also has to be a role model too.

There are many people 30+ only beginning their undergraduate education.  It is not too late for you.

You have the opportunity that can never be duplicated elsewhere to: develop friendships that will last a lifetime, learn lifeskills in a protected safe environment, be exposed to differences in ideals/religious beliefs/lifestyles/personality types in an evironment where differences are celebrated, obtain learning skills that you will benifit long after school, and ( obvious, but has to be stated) you can put on a job application that you graduated from college and be considered for jobs that would otherwise not be available.

You still have a lot of time to figure things out.  I say go to college.  Dont feel bad I am 26 and feel that I have done nothing.  I have not gone to college yet and really want to but life is busy I dont have time.  Go to college before you are 26 wondering why you didnt go when you could have.

Girl - are we related???  My brother is the EXACT SAME WAY and has done the same thing to me.  He's been this way since he was around 20 as well but he's freakin 31 now and still a bum.  However, my mother is still alive so he's lucky - and that's where he lives.  She enables him and that is why he will never change.\n\nI say you have to show him TOUGH LOVE.  Do not enable him to be unemployed, jobless, etc. or else he will never change. Some people have to learn the hard way.  Let him fend for himself.  Help him at a distance.  If you feel you need to let him live with you - place strong conditions on it - such as he must respect you and speak to you accordingly and the first time he doesn't - he's out.  Do not bend on that.  Then make his butt get a job and go back to school to get his GED.  Have an agreement with him before you let him back in that those are the conditions and if he does not do them - he will have to live elsewhere.  There are shelters in every state. Be strong and firm.  And pray for your brother as well.

Yes, he would be crazy not to. I know the importance of a college education but you are only young and healthy for so long. If he would stay for another year he may get hurt and never see the NFL. After all if he goes he will get huge bonuses and hopefully invest them and make the college education unimportant at least from a financial standpoint.

Well, first of all it's not really too late but it does get harder as your body gets older. The problem is at this age they would be very far apart and probably not have a lot in common. Now about him being lonely there is no reason for you to feel guilty or remorse. Having a sibling has it's advantage but it also has it's disadvantages. There is no rule on how many children you should have. I think as long as you raise him well he will be fine and well adjusted. There is nothing wrong with having only one child and in many ways it can be a benefit for exactly the reasons you stated ie. you have more time just for him, you can concentrate on him and his needs, you will have more money to send him to college or get him the things he needs. The truth is if he has been an only child for this long he might well resent having another child in the picture. I know my sister did and still sort of does LOL and we're only 2 years apart. Don't worry too much I think he'll be just fine, obviously he has a mother who cares about his well being very very much and that is the most important part about growing up.

I'm 21 and finally getting tired of living at home. So I'm moving out. I'm going to let them know that I'm pursuing my life in the town I go to college; they would probably eventually give me the boot at around 25, I think, if I didn't.

#2 is way friggin better than #1, I would rather see a person in the #1 category get all the #2 rewards for their hard work, life would be great if everybody was able to get a great career job without the strength of a college degree, My goodness I hate college!!!!

No, but they will be suspicious that you did not work unless you were a minor the whole time.  Even students work.  If you really didn't work, then you'll be fine.  But not working and pretending not to owe any tax are two different things.  Also, what kind of bum doesn't work for five years?  No offense, but that is the kind of question you'll be getting.

Well your grammar doesnt make much sense but\nbecoming a lawyer\nholds a heavy burden\nYou must attend school for four more years\nand it is a full time job\nwhich means less time with your family\nand more time at work
