College on financial aid (or paying). Ha

[spb1024]

I've just finished my first term about 3 weeks ago (9 weeks of class), and not going to finish and get my degree. Something I thought about which I figured I'd share; I did some rough math and calculated that if I finish college, I'd have been in classes for about 550 hours a year, not including homework/weekends/off time/etc (spans over about 2 years for the degree). It is free because I'm on financial aid, but, 550+ hours can be spent much better in my opinion. For the most part, if I go for my associates degree, there will be a lot of BS gen-ed classes (math/reading/etc) for most of the time and then maybe 2 classes for the major. Let's say i'm majoring in business, why not just spend the 250-400 bucks for the one business class instead of the whole associates (I can't get only one or two classes on financial aid, they require me to take the gen-ed classes before the major), and save about 500 hours/2 years on the other BS classes. Yes, 2 years saved (well, 1 and 2/3 years counting in the one or two business classes), and I would have still got the education I needed. Sounds a lot more logical to me, plus I probably would have spent the same on gas and lunch going to school on financial aid for 2 years compared to just laying down the measly 250-400 bucks for the class. The differences would be I go one way and have a little peice of paper, or, the other way and I am 2 years ahead of myself if I would have went for the associates... besides, I wouldn't need that little peice of paper to start a business.

Quick thought: You can also take a few "juice" classes at a time to save more time, I.E., taking business and web design classes at the same time, just getting the lean meat without the fat, fat meaning the classes you don't need.

Another thing: If your relatives have money put away for college for you, then shit, take only the classes you need (if needed) and then you have a good amount of cash to get started on the "fastlane".

Just something to think about if your planning on going to college.

Don't know if this is posted in the right place.
