see thats where the awesomeness came in, i worked my ass off while the wife was in college so she can go, now that shes done, its my turn
its REALLY nice to have a support structure to help with it. id enroll right now if the house would sell already, it would be REALLY nice to have a extra 750 bux a month

I feel like the odd ball lol.
Alright in a nut shell...Direct admit into Mech Engineering at a top 25 school. But sitll had to pay because my family wasn't poor enough to qualify for aid but wasn't rich enough to help me out. Passed all but some of the weird mechanical engineering course. Including Diffy Q. Matrix Algebra but because I was working full time to pay for class I couldn't put the hours needed in to pass teh physics classes which required get this... 6 hours a day in class per term not including additional assignments outside of class. So it was 10hrs of work a day on top of my other class load and working five 10 hour shifts a week to pay all the bills. So then I switched to Psychologity got my Bachelor of Science in that and now working towards a Professional Counseling degree which I am currently needing the internship hours only. I also have my ASE certification as an automotive tech (not master tech) and ASE certification as a Parts specialist and had a certification for artic cat service when I was 16. Yeah I know that is from one end of the spectrum to the other but wait till I start my own practice it is going to use all of my skills and knowledge base and be the coolest and most effective counseling practice anywhere. Oh and after I graduate with my masters I am going back to the local community college for my professional welders certificate to aid in my overall strategy. And yeah I am still in my 20s and like faith lots of bills to pay and a family including 3 children under 5 and my wife is a stay at home mom for them. Talk about money being tight but still if you budget right and make over minimum wage it is doable. Right now thankfully college is paid with loans but I do not look forward to paying them back when I am done! At least it is just for my graduate work so it will be under $60k when I am done and not 100 had I had all the same loans in undergrad. There is somethign for paying your own way through school before you build the family and can afford to do the 50+ work week. On a side bar my spelling and grammar suffer because it all goes to the 20+ papers I do at least 2 every 10 weeks in addition to regular course work.
