I want my own space again.

Yeah at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you do what you want and what's best for you. Good luck

But basically with this scholarship, FAFSA aid, and the GI Bill, I should have a good chunk of change to cover tuition. The next question is stay living at home, (30-45 min drive) or live on campus (freedom!!!).

So I have to schedule a campus tour to talk to different advisors about different issues I see, and if they can answer my question and calm my worries... I'm wondering why not? A Private school Bachelors certainly looks better than a CC Associates... Right?

At the end of the day, a Bachelor's degree from anywhere looks better than an Associate's. The rest of that, including GPA and Honor Society, matters less to getting a job than knowing what you're doing and knowing people in the profession. It may be worth your while to pursue internships in your chosen field before you get out of school. I don't know, though.

Couldn't have said it better. That's def the advice to follow. The school and degree you earn as well as any practical internships/experience/certificate (in your field of study) hold tremendous value and will make a difference in yours starting salary in comparison to other candidates

Neat. I'm a "featured car" in one of the nice air conditioned buildings for I&K nationals:

Doing more than just getting your degree in college is huge. Any clubs or organizations you can join that will help you gain practical experience will be very valuable come interview time. You have to be able to differentiate yourself from the rest.

Yeah baby! Let's do this.

BTW can I borrow $10,000 I have this great investment idea and I SWEAR it will work this time! They said I could limit my risk by selling a put and selling a call. I don't even have to own the stock! How great is that?

Boy, Birdman, we're gonna be rich!

But isnt it the opposite with stocks, you buy low and sell at their highest point?
