Default Light at the end of the college tunnel
If summer school goes to plan, I should be done this December with maybe one class left over. I wouldn't really mind that, kinda leave a chill semester before I start working full time and start with all the company training I will have to do once that happens. Gonna continue to work part time in the mean while, play with the TA when I can, which isnt often. Good thing is I'm leaving with zero debt. So wont have to worry about student loans once I'm done, that money can go to a new toy. 5th gen would be nice

Hell, you spent this long in college, might as well get a masters degree, it's only another 12-15 classes!

Neil, finish as quick as you can. Think of it this way, every semester you take to drag it out costs you 1/2 a year of salary. So, that "easy chill" semester you are talking about could cost you $20,000-30,000 depending on the job you land.

I'm leaving college 35 in the hole but it is a good investment and will pay for itself. TAMU paper costs a lot and is only getting more expensive.

I agree with Tony, I only have 6 hrs. next semester and am pissed about it when most people are like you are smart for that. I am wasting a whole 6 months to take 6 hrs. and have a bs job while i do it because of my sh*tty scheduel.
