I kinda can relate. Kinda. I didn't go to school until 21. Then dropped out at 25 a few credits shy of my degree, then went back to school at 28. I work full time and go to school full time. shyt SUCKS :noah: I have two jobs basically. I only have time to come home, sleep, shyt, do homework, bullshyt on the Coli, then it's back out to make money and go to school. In hindsight I wish I choose a cheaper university because that's what caused me to dropout not having the finances after my scholly expired. In hindsight I would have went to community college, got certs, got my A.A., and worked the entire time while going on to undergrad at my 4 year state school for the in-state tuition part-time but, hindsight is 20/20 and kids never wanna listen to wisdom.

Start reading some savings and investing books. I have copies of Brass Knuckle finance I can email you if you want to take a look at them. I believe I also have Dave Ramsey's book Total Money makeover, but I'll hav It's better to have a plan BEFORE you get a job instead of figuring it out after the fact. Like King Poetic said, it's never too late.

Can i send my email in pm so u can send it to me

This is a cautionary tale to anyone considering dropping out of school unless you have a way better opportunity

I'm 28. I'm in a class getting hands on experience to get my CCNA. I missed out on all the fun of my early 20s

Having a low wages job will influence your social circle, your romantic prospects, and your outlook on life


As soon as I get a real job I won't know what to do with the money...cuz I've been used to poverty for so long

I feel
:flabbynsick:
Keep going. Once you get into the IT world, the money and opportunity is going to come FAST.

EDIT: A guy I know got his degree in Business Administration. First job out of college was technical support for a cloud company. Making like 15 an hour. Did that for a year. Then got a job elsewhere making 50k. Did that for a year. Then got another job making 70k working with SAND (I believe that's what it's called). Currently he's getting 85k a year at another company. He never used that bull shyt business degree. In Tech/IT the salary quickly jumps from what I've heard.

We gotta learn not to compare ourselves to others...

We are men...some of us don't get our life together until we are 50...:yeshrug:

If you're younger than 22 just stop. Don't even think about this. Get on your grind NOW even if it takes two jobs so that by the time you're 25 you got savings n all dat
