Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 1647914, member: 2133"] I went to college after spending four years in the Air Force. All I cared about was getting my degree and getting out so that I could start earning. I had zero financial support from my parents. Everything was paid for by the GI Bill, loans, my part time job, or a scholarship (in roughly that order). I finished my BS in 3.5 years and I could have done it faster if I didn't have to essentially relearn HS math (if you don't use it, you lose it, kids). I turned down free graduate school, because it would delay my earning and it wouldn't have appreciably increased my earning potential. If after two years, someone had offered me a job with a earning floor of essentially a million dollar signing bonus and 10 years of $50k salaries, I would have left school in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
