I got community college paid for by the government. Got a 2 year. That was enough for me. Seems like you would need a masters to get anything worthwhile. And Jobs where you need a 4 year degree can usually be worked up to from a lower position. TBH I just want to make enough so I can sail around the world. Maybe go on a vagrant holiday.
My personal goal is to someday own my own property. Somewhere outside from the city or suburban areas. A nice rural and quiet area. That seems to be getting more difficult these days though. Apparently the goverment thinks I'm too old for aid so I don't really get anything for financial assitance. I paid last semester via bi-monthly payment plans.
Buying land and houses are becoming increasingly hard. I'm renting a basement to save money and it still sucks. I know junior Marines with a family penny-pinching to not get into debt. Idk, I just want to leave city life and start a simple farm.
@ PNNamerica as well. I got my associates and stopped there. Idk how I even managed to get good grades with how much I hate school. I'm also bad at it. My sister is a doctor and I was always compared to her so I can relate to some level with your mom. People are always chasing 'success' and society deems those who want a simple life as failures. Even if find success, it's just you trying to maintain it.
No shame in not wanting to go to law school ;) Legal practice can be pretty miserable, even if you are earning a lot. You'll be happier doing a job you find fulfilling whilst living somewhere you like, prestige be damned.

Good luck, China and Bill Gates will make that hard.
