@Baalzamon, yea that 8.2k is for 30 hours which is a year (15 hours per semester, I am pretty sure 12 is still full time but most people take least 15 hours per semester). A lot of the high school things you just mentioned didn't start happening in most states till around 2000 or so.  So I couldn't get college credit in high school in Ohio because they just started allowing that after I graduated high school.

I understand that generally the college educated people make more money.   My degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Management hasn't even helped me find a job in that career.  Problem is that there are too many Wildlife majors for the little jobs.  I have applied to about 1,000 or more wildlife jobs since 2007 and received one offer for part time job in FL which I denied because I couldn't move there for a part time job.  So my field is pretty much filled with people with more experience and I can't get any experience because no one will hire me.  So I work in manufacturing field etc until one day maybe I will get my chance.....

The only thing I can thank my degree for is the 16k in federal student loan debt.

Well that really stinks :( , I'm still attempting to get through college without any debt.  It will be tough when I like to spend too much money on games and candy, but I'm still hopeful :)



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
