I'm feeling the same way about to finish up my Associates this semester. After High school I went straight to the work force. I did customer service jobs and when I go so fed up with doing it might options were limited. I think thats what still drives me to finish college because I dont want to go back on the stupid phone!

Hoping to complete my Bachelors by the time I hit 29

lol. None of the jobs I am really interested in require a bachelors. Most (Air Traffic Controller, Aircraft Maintenance Technician, etc...) have tech schools you have to attend to get your license.

I currently do small bookkeeping duties at my job and I love it. I have worked with the Accountant here on different occasions and even though I might sound like a nerd I love working with numbers and money. That's why I'm going for an Accounting degree.

My Grandfather was in the banking business. Long hard hours, but not bad if you enjoy it.

On college:

I would say not to go to college, at least an expensive one, unless the job you will get coming out is paying high enough. If it's not going to pay enough then pick a less expensive school or a trade school depending on your goals.

At my University I just graduated from, the Tuition alone was 33K a year, that doesn't include room, board, etc.. So there are kids there that spend $160,000 or more to go to my college and most of the Business majors come out making $50,000 a year or less. Most are in the $36,000 range for Finance & Marketing, they will be spending years paying that back unless they are on good scholarships.

So IMO I wouldn't have gone to this school unless I knew I was going to come out making very good money, and didn't cover most cost through scholarship (By the end I had covered a little over half with scholarships)

Commercial pilots start out making $30k or so. I would be $150k in debt at minimum. Pay goes up to six figures, but that takes a long time. (10yrs+)

For a commercial pilot I wouldn't even worry about college. There are alot of trade schools for aviation. Tulsa has a Spartan College of Aeronautics for example.

I have a buddy who is flying and they can make some pretty good money! That's the only reason I went to this college, to get a specific job.

I started at a community college and now transferring my credits to a University because of that reason.

Yup that's what alot of people do here. I just got enough Academic scholarship that I could avoid that.

22 year old reporting in... will be 23 in a couple weeks, Oct 3rd Friday night.

Hopefully I'll get an LS3 conversion kit for my B-day! [;

As far as struggles go... uhh... I guess I get the question "Wow, you're really young for that kind of car, why didn't you save up until you were older so you can have paid it off in cash? "

Well shoot, I know a lot of people 10-20 years older than me and finance things... In my opinion this car was a win-win for me. This is helping my credit out tremendously and of course I get to have a freakin' 2011 CAMARO SUPER SPORT at the age of 22!

No offense to anyone here, but not many people in their lifetimes can say they owned their dream car at a younger age,

Yeah, everyone in my family have financed vehicles. When you get a low interest rate it makes sense to keep money in savings instead.

My dad told me to buy the car I want now because I may never get the chance to again. Was it the best financial decision I could have made? No. Do I regret it? Absolutely not.

[xinfamousxi]

Man I have only had this car a week and it seems to attract the biggest @holes. Its like everyone with a spoiler/exhaust wants to race me. THey either brake check me and pull to the side of me or rev their loud exhaust when they are side by side at a light. I'm like brah I got my daughter in the car f*** off.

[hypercarfanatic]

17 here, should be picking up a camaro in the next couple months

Nice to see that I qualify for a thread, and don't have to hang around the over 40 section anymore :P
