School cost way too much, I`m worried I won`t be able to
find a job and bot be able to pay it back.

haha you will

i have about 13,000 in student loans BUT (heres the good
news)

you normally have an insanely low interest rate, mine is %3,
and have until youre 60 to pay it off - what's more if youre
in a low enough tax bracket (which nearly all of us recent
grads are) you can file the interest you have acrued for the
year and you get a tax refund

YAY !

it sucks but youll get used to the payments...i have and ive
only been paying em for a year

In Denmark tuition is free. You actually get paid money if
you study.

Thanks for the sympathy euphonicfilter! I totally feel like
shit today I don`t know why. This project is bugging me, and
when I look on the net for help I realize I could just stay
home and teach myself the same thing.

Man we should move to denmark

Unfortunatly, money has such a strong physical influence
that it dominates human beings. It is essential for personal
security and sanity.

Writing this lead me to beleive that maybe because of my
"MONEY" mentality, I fear the worst.

I am currently paying off my first student loan. At the same
time, I am paying 1/4 of my annual "after tax" salary on
tuition fees on a part time degree I'm doing. It is criminal
how expensive some courses are and also that tuition fees
are not tax-deductable. The fuckers at my university have
gone back on something we agreed a few weeks back too, so I
am going to have to empty my savings to continue studying
and also not go on holiday this year.

Remember kids, work hard at school, graduate university with
flying colours and you'll be set for life. Erm, I mean
knee-deep in debt and working all the hours God sends.

In Ireland tuition is free. But not for long.

Hooray for free tuition! :D

as long as you get a really good grade at the end of it, it
will be worth it.

So don't spend all your time getting pissed and stoned. if
you get a shit grade, what have you gained? 14K debt, or
thereabouts, probably.

school is such a fucking scam. Humanity is officially
corrupt, with no way to reverse itself minus a global
catastrophe- which I pray to jesus christ for every day. It
doesn't help that "he" doesn't exist of course.
