The economy were in right now is basically if you don't have a 4 year degree (in a math, science, engineering, or health care I should add) from a fairly big named school (usually that means it needs a D1 football team) you are a dime a dozen.

I used to get all federal and state aid that would cover everything plus some other expenses, but now I transferred and so my costs rose. Only a fraction of the aid I get are grants from the federal and state government. It's mostly private grants and loans, with a few government loans. It also includes only tuition and $200 or so for books. No money for living expenses, transportation expenses, food, nothing. I'm going to be in debt for years to come. Also, my expected family contribution is $0.

LordoftheMorons 01/17/12 11:11:00 AM #41:	*Metal_DK posted...* Lol cuz associate degrees are worth a damn right? The economy were in right now is basically if you don't have a 4 year degree (in a math, science, engineering, or health care I should add) from a fairly big named school (usually that means it needs a D1 football team) you are a dime a dozen. Actually the science degrees are mostly pretty useless if you stop after undergrad, since they don't teach you any immediately applicable skills. Like, if I were not to apply to grad school, I would be way worse off with my math and physics degrees than someone who had done computer science, EE, statistics or something, because what I can do is basically those things, except an employer is thinking "I might as well take someone who actually has one of those degrees so I'm positive they know the basics." Pretty unfortunate considering getting a physics degree is just as difficult as getting one of the more challenging engineering degrees. -- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png No I'm not a damn furry.
