I am going to school to get my AA in general studies. Really? What the hell for? To which I would normally reply, to have a degree, DUH! But really, what does a degree in "general studies" say about you? That you're a moron who can't make up your mind and obviously have nothing better to do with your money so you give it to Sallie Mae, because lets be honest, who pays cash for classes anymore!?
Now this is the sad part, in high school I was a great student, sure I was a smart ass slacker, but I got mostly A's. I was to be valedictorian! Did you hear me? VALEDICTORIAN!!
I was freaking smart people! (My senior class consisted of 7 people! hehehe) But then I was kicked out of my Christian school and forced to go to a public school for the SECOND SEMESTER OF MY SENIOR YEAR!! Public school! They have guns and stuff there! Aaahhh!!! Anyway, that's a post for another day! When I graduated from high school I had the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship, basically I had a 100% full ride to whatever college in Florida I wanted to go to. Being the super intelligent being I am, I put that puppy to good use and went to COMMUNITY college and dropped out the second semester of my sofomore year. Seriously? Why didn't someone knock me out?! I was such a spoiled, self centered little brat!
So here I am, paying out the wazoo for the same classes that I took before for FREE! And all for a degree in GENERAL STUDIES!
I think I must be a sucker for punishment. Maybe it's my tight shoes that got me thinking..
At any rate, I am set to graduate in May. With a degree that is basically good for nothing. Considering I'm at a dead end job, don't get me wrong I love my job, but I can't move up in my job and after 2 pay raises I'm only making an extra .60 cents an hour! And once we spawn another child I plan on being a stay at home mom again, so really, what the hell will I ever do with my general studies degree??
I'm obviously a moron who likes to give their money to Sallie Mae =(

We were talking about that last night about sometimes it is just a waste to continously go to school when sometimes you wont even make that much more money...but youll be stuck with the loans out of the wahzoo.
EXACTLY my thoughts!!!
I'll be a stay at home mom, hopefully starting up a photography business (just a little something on the side) with a degree in general studies. If I was smart maybe I would have gone for a degree in business, but it's too late to change to that major and graduate in May. And Lord knows I do NOT want anymore schooling beyond that!
Who knows, maybe one day I will put it to use, or one day I will continue my education.
My motto, once I have it they can't take it back. =)
