Should I get a car and look cool, or should I get an education so I don't have to flip burgers at McDonalds?

well its up to you buddy, do you want to say "DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?" for the next 20-30yrs? but still look kewl

or do you want to be able to almost pay cash for that car in 4yrs after college?

Go to school or you will regret it later. I am going back at 33 to finish my degree I was not my choice to stop and I always regretted not finishing. Now first thing i did after making real money was not toys or anything else I took my first check and payed for tuition. Then I went and put a down payment on the car.

School = ---> good paying jobs = ----->Future, House, Toys, and vacations

School first ..... play 2nd

Good for you but you are in the minority. I did not finish collage and I made nearly 7figs last year and this year it looks like I will beat that. But as lucky as you and I are we are are in the minority and I would NEVER be irresponsible enough to suggest anyone else go down that path. Just because something worked does not mean it was a good idea.

However, if I savved up for a year, I would have enough to buy a new camaro 2ss in cash, which brings me to my qurstion.

Should I buy a camaro first, and start school a year from now, at age 22, or sshould I just go to school and wait like 6 years, maybe more for my income to jump? Either way I'd go to school but idk if 22 is too old for college.


Thanks in advanced guys! Your educated responses will have a big impact on my future!

Your kidding right? The Camaro is just a car....... and that car will be gone from your life one day. An education can never be taken away from you and will be worth much over the years of your life.......

Education is the only answer to this question.

This thread is a joke right?

No doubt, school. Been there, done that. Best decision I ever made.

Got my BS and MBA plus a professional license. They can take everything else away, but they can't take your education away from you once you get it.

Much easier to go to school when you are younger. As you get older, there will always be a reason to put it off and not go back. Bills, wife, kids, house, etc.

There will always be a chance to get the car. At least get your Associates to get a better job initially. From there, you can continue your education and get the car.

Best of luck!

Is it possible to make money without a degree? Yes. Is it easier to make money with a degree? Definately. Hell even the military is requiring degrees to reach certain ranks.

You are totally correct on this, we are a minority! I just see the hands on working class slowly shrinking. I wish they would push trade schools harder than they do! Not everyone is college material and we need construction workers, plumbers, ect......

[jrboyd_1980]

:bangdesk:So sounds like your saying, get car, forget school, and become a plumber?
