Dude like, I'm having trouble finding any way it wouldn't be worth bending over as much as I need to to have a pretty much free college degree.
I mean I have to pay 25% but they've tried to bribe me off drugs by waiving that in the past... 
Maybe I could bargain with them, like if I don't blow a single semester for the rest of college with drugs, they'll waive it.
They know I'm gonna be living off like $12,000/year for like 6 years after I graduate anyway for grad school, and that's if I get fellowships...
Unfortunately, I spent a stock portfolio that the Uncle who inspired me to go to college left for me and the other grandkids after he died mostly on drugs (nitrous). I'm never going to forgive myself for that, ever. My parents let me cash it in to get out of this debt. I'd bought a lot of weed to try to reinvest the investment (not exactly honoring him per se either) but the cops got it. I could have easily recovered a grand if the cops hadn't taken my nitrous (nevermind the weed) when I was found unresponsive but I think they felt kind of bad since I was so nice to them, had to leave in an ambulance (yay psych wards), and most importantly DIDNT HAVE A SCALE and had a lot of weed measured out in a pill planner.

Eh not so much you two... Got off topic on that ramble there tho.
If anyone else has anything to say about student loans, it would be much appreciated although I think that will be a last resort (like if its that or no college at all).

Silly americans. In australia the government gives us an interest free loan and pays for about half of it aswell. It then gets deducted from your pay ONCE you start earning over 50k.

I have around 22k in them. Most of that will be wiped out when I join the service. The rest will be paid off easily.

Nausea, fever, and an outbreak of hives? Looks like a linker error... I'm going to have you see a specialist who's an expert with the GNU debugger.
good point
Australia sounds nice.

I'll bet student loans are great now. The government runs them. 
I agree with whoever said, get a degree that you can do something with. Engineering, CS, etc. Philosophy isn't going to get you shit unless you have connections. You could try political science and become a politician. You'd probably do better than the assclowns in there currently.
I'm lucky i made it through college on most of my own money, and a few hundred a semester for the company I worked for, in engineering.

Don't write off Philosophy as useless just because it's not a vocational certification 
What kind of Engineer are you starfire? Sounds like you done good

as a recent college graduate (technology major) my only piece of advice, beyond majoring in something practical, is to get some experience while you're in school. If you want to do programming or IT, fight for a position while you go to school, even if the hours or pay are less than desirable Having only one tech job before hitting the job market sucked big GET EXPERIENCE!
