Did you get accepted to all of them? If so, why would you turn them down?

Yes I did, and I turned them down because A) The fees are amazingly high, and B) If I went to college right now, I'd drop out before I finished.

I'm not a school person.

I go to the University of Alberta, and I'm currently enrolled in specialization in geology. Will be a 4th year student doing 3rd year classes.

So you won't buck up for a better school, but you'll drop out of a worse school. At least one isn't a waste of money.

I'm going to Seneca College @ York for Computer Systems Technology for 3 years, and I will probably follow that up with Open Source Software Engineering. Going to be a blast 8D

I go to community college and my books are 500+ dollars a semester. The good thing is that at the end of each semester they do a book buy-back, so my parents buy the books for me and then when I'm done with classes I bring the books to a person in charge of the buy-back and they give me straight up cash in exchange for the book. Then I get to keep the cash. So I make around 200 dollars each semester just for giving back the book because I get to keep the money. You guys all probably have something like that too, but I just find it really exciting.

No, I'd pay it. It's just a turn-off. And I'd drop out of any school.

So in the end, it's all a waste of money.

I got accepted to RIT (I don't even know how I think they messed up in admissions. I had a C/C- average.) for videogame design and development starting in a month, which I'm mildly excited for. They even sent me some money for my board scores or something like that.

Or you can not drop out so you don't have to suck dick for a living? You're going to kick your own ass someday @_@. In all seriousness if you found out what you would love doing for a job, then go into that you would love going. Don't just limit yourself to the best of your potential. If I had the potential to be a doctor, and make way more money than an IT guy, I would still go into IT cause being a doctor would be boring as hell for me.

York history tried to recruit me, it was kinda weird, they had a history professor call me at my house to try and talk me into going.

Maybe I'm not a ****ing Plan A troll like 4/5ths of HS seniors.

Musician = As much money as I feel like making.

And don't even mention the recession.

In the Great Depression, the musicians were the only ones making money.

Same thing is happening now, though not to the same degree.

But bars and musicians are doing ****ing great around here.

I just finished all my prereqs to get in the nursing program. Now I'm just waiting for my name to be called. I should think about getting the AA just for looks on my resume. It might help just a tiny bit with the jobs. Anyways, books each semester has eaten about 500 from my wallet each semester. I also need to get off my lazy butt and sign up for financial aid to pay for that crap.
