There was an interesting study done probably a decade ago where they compared the net worth of 2 different individuals. One worked 40hrs a week delivering pizzas directly out of highschool, the other went to college, worked only to cover expenses, and took out ~10k in loans every year to cover tuition.
Since the pizza delivery guy was intelligent with his money and saved, and the college kid took 5 years to graduate, assuming salary averages for recent grads in his field, the study estimated that it would take the college grad over 15 years to eclipse the delivery boy’s net worth.
I wish I could find it.
I assume it was some kind of nonsense liberal arts degree?

oddly enough, im a guy that swears by japanese and my next car could be domestic.
Pretty sure for the study they just took whatever degree had the highest average of graduates at the time. So yeah, probably something stupid that would net you 30k after graduation.
sell you mine next year, well maybe.
damn you for quoting him, having him on ignore brought up the IQ of NYSPEED.
With the way you act, you probably won’t, and what you are going to get a $20k signing bonus for your down payment for a house, well that is the main reason you keep stating you are living at home… jesus, I am going to laugh when you live in Wayside Mobile Home Court.
never cried about how expensive it is.
just saying, if you are PAYING out of your pocket
ecc 2 yr > ub/canesius ect.
NOW i’m not saying ecc is better than those schools, i know it’s not. But people who don’t have any type of ride and take out 40+ grand a yr to attend those schools for their first 2 years are :smash2:
get your basic shit out of the way at a cheap school, then get your 4 yr at a good school.
Yup, you are not going to be earning much.
I think it was actually a marketing degree, I remember this article, and the Pizza delivery guy was extremely thrifty with everything he did. The results where a little skewed, but if you are half way intelligent you can do well with out a degree, usually a degree is the stepping stone for more growth.

Either:
A. Lotus Elise and put a K20 in it
Probably another '03-04 Cobra Vert.
Right now it is looking like a volvo S60 R to be honest. I think it will make a fun daily at a great price.
Probably an E46 M3 But I am probably going to make two other more costly purchases first.

Ooooh I love these, and I actually was considering one after school before gas prices became so high.
