I personally would not give up getting an education for someone I was dating. If they're not willing to support me bettering myself by going to college, then that's not someone I want in my life. But there are plenty of options for school, and I'm sure there's a college near where you live now. You could live on campus and still have a relationship.
Even if you do go to college it doesn't make you worth something automatically. You still have to work hard. Some of the best entrepreneurs didn't go to college or uni. It's up to you to make something out of your life.
I was out of school for 10 years before I went back. Admitted 7 years were spent in the service, but none the less I went back. Its a bit of a change but you would be amazed at how much you retain regardless of breaks from schooling
Yeah, it depends how long you've been with him. I think that the right guy will never leave you. I mean, don't haggle your future on someone who might not be the right guy. When it all comes down to this. To nothing. To having no family, no materials, no anything, the one thing you will still have is your education. You have to grab your opportunities. But seriously though, why can't you have both?
Unless you don't like school and rather decide to do something more challenging join military like what I'm doing xD
I know how u feel, I went back to school after being out for nearly eight yrs, and I have a wife with a career of her own. ATM she lives n hr away and we don't see each other near as often as we would like, but I'm transfering closer to her after next semester, neither of us tailor our lives around the other, but we're both willing to compromise a little to make both our plans work. If you n ur bf are gonna b long term, you'll both need to learn to do the same.
Agreed. To the person who can't get his/her message to work, are you trying to type the 'plus' sign? That could be why your post keeps cutting off
Well choose wisely.....but i think ur future is more important, if he love u he will understand....my opinion..good luck
You can do online school if you don't want to move (but you won't get as good of an education). I suggest going to college but only if you are going to get a marketable degree. If you want a degree in religion, philosophy, or literature, then you are wasting your time in my opinion. There are many other majors that I believe are a waste of time, those are just a few.
And if you aren't used to the college life style and studying, you could just start off at a local junior or community college and take your basic classes. Then you can move into a university after two or so years and take more classes in your major. The classes should start off nice and easy at the local junior/community college. I did some summer school at a local junior college once and the classes were very easy with a very low workload and the teachers were always extremely lenient because most of the students were incompetent. My main school though, is a 4 year university that I attend in the fall and spring and its certainly harder but you can work your way up to it if you have to. I just went straight to the 4 year university after high school without problems but I was used to the study mind set.
