We have much lower ones here that our parents can afford (thankfully, or no one I know would have gotten birthday or Christmas presents for the last four years!) but you're required to pay a helluva lot more! Keep at it, though, because it'll be better to have a qualification than to try get a job that doesn't pay enough. Good luck with it all!Paul Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498209913967406314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454804294678084718.post-38341031430051101032011-11-19T20:54:49.475+00:002011-11-19T20:54:49.475+00:00I know the feeling.

And I'm planning to study abroad this summer, which requires even more money I don't have (hoping for a generous scholarship). <br /><br />-sigh- I'm seriously hoping for a decent job right out of college because I'm going to need one. My parents keep telling me it'll be fine, but I'm not blind. They barely make enough money to keep us all going. <br /><br />I'm seriously hoping I can get on the fast track to a good job...Don't know what I'll do if I don't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610184057896951494noreply@blogger.com
