[QUOTE="The Luke, post: 757146, member: 1976"] With the way that my parents generation planned for their kids future, pushed for everyone to go to college, take out student loans and had the mentality of "you'll make so much money when you get out of college that you'll pay back your student loans in no time", I don't know that that exists much these days. Outside of family money and drug dealers... Complete derail/tangent here: But my first week of college was spent with my engineering professors saying the same line of BS over and over; "The average salary of a new hire right out of college in this field makes $1XX,XXX a year. So the best thing you can do is not work, take out the maximum student loan possible and focus on school. Don't worry if you rack up $100K+ in student loans, that will be a drop in the bucket when you graduate". I'm sure there are exceptions. But, out of the people I know from my engineering classes, I'm the only one who is working as an actual engineer. And I'm the only one that flunked out. Everyone else graduated and went on to work in a totally different field because that was all they could find. [/QUOTE]
