Go to school, when you get done, you can buy any dang thing you want. I went to school from kindergarten until I turned 30 without missing a beat, so I know what its like to want stuff and put off school. Trust me, its worth it, the world will be your oyster

When I was 22 I would have said get the car. Now, 25 years later, I've seen what it's like in the working world and I know the best decision is to go to college.

Go to school. Be as passionate about school as you are about the Camaro. If you are, then you will be able to buy as many Camaros as you want.

Also keep in mind even when you go to school, there is no guarantee of a good paying job..... Make sure you pick your major very carefully, I've seen way too many people choose something there is no market for. If you stick with an Engineering or Technology major you should be safe.

Also, I know for the navy academy... if you go there, you have to be a line officer. But, I think being a supply officer would be a better job.

Anyways, I get my University of California tuition paid for me for free. Yay Scholarships

To OP: furthering your education during an economic time is a no brainer. Hopefully by the time you graduate, the economy will have fully recovered.

LOL @ officer of the line in the navy.

I'm not into bureaucratic jobs..

Other safe bets: schoolteacher/nurse/doctor/lawyer/pharmacist/computer-aided drafting/any kind of computer drafting: CATIA/solidworks/Pro-E/Autocad/most of the drafting classes you can take at community college.

If you get a bachelor of arts, it still looks good on a resume. not everyone can deal with math. you could go for PHD.

other safe bet: work for dept. of homeland security

SleepWarz · 10-01-2009, 11:42 AM

Car for sure.

Screw school. Do it later but I don't recommend it.

Speedfreak · 10-01-2009, 12:07 PM

school bro. May not be tha answer you were hoping for. But delayed gratification is a great thing. The education will last a lifetime.
