I told Umberon the same thing, when he asked a long time ago
HS is the least important thing in everyone's life, that for some reason people think is a life-or-death point for their entire future
And it feeds into the lie, that college choice really matters
That there's a reason to spend $75k per year, on a """better""" school
I see the American Dream is alive and well
See, I've found that after I started making money, I started to enjoy buying shit
almost like a game
Slowly upgrading everything
"improving" my place
I used to think the same way
"I don't really want anything"
And to an extent I still live pretty frugal
But I can definitely tell, that having money makes me WAAAAAYYY more willing to spend money
It's weird, I probably spend my money on the most insane shit, in most peoples eyes
Weird tech, books, servers, etc.
But then like, I never once upgraded from the shitty couch I found that someone was throwing out
Despite; whenever I'd sit on it, I'd think about how uncomfortable it was
I need Leg to weigh in, the only other person here who has disposable income now
I mean, I assume you make decent money now, even after you account for rent/utilities
Compared to when you were in uni
i've bought books like this https://smile.amazon.com/Kingdom-Agarttha-Journey-Hollow-Earth/dp/1594772681/
and this https://smile.amazon.com/Viking-Spirit-Introduction-Mythology-Religion/dp/1533393036/ recently
idk, maybe I'm just an outlier then
I felt like after I started making money, I was way more willing to spend then I used to be
huh, interesting
To have fun in, or to further some other goal?
Well, if your goal is to: "obtain degree X"
Nova ---> either GMU or VCU
Oh, I thought Nova was down in Richmond too
What's your cc down there?
If you're chasing a cheap degree, you do 2 years of CC, then transfer to a state college
But it all depends on what you really want to do
There are better ways to spend 4 years, that work for a lot of people also
If you want to have more "fun" in college though
Or "find yourself"
cc is a mistake
Best off finding a 4-year program on a large campus
And experiencing that
