When you are (well, when many of us are) 18 years old, you don't realize how important these things are without an elaborate future plan previously mapped out. Back then, my focus was more geared towards chicks and wrestling. I figured merely attaining a BA would automatically result in being "fine." And if I got into a financial pickle, "future rico" would be able to handle it.. Well, "future rico" is now "present rico" and "present rico" would give anything to be given the chance to go back and smack "past rico" upside the head. Problem is...even if that were possible, "present rico" doesn't have anything to give.
Stupid...stupid....STUPID!!!!

I'm really, really sorry to hear that.
Don't get me started on the economics of college. I will rant on forever.
Not quite the same thing, of course, but I have personally dissuaded three people I know from going to law school, and couldn't be more proud of it. People think "law degree = big bucks" but they are VERY, VERY wrong.
The American middle class obsession with obtaining a college education is ****ing over generations of young people.
