Academic Bankruptcy, then don't screw up again.

if you wanna go back, go back.

dont worry bout what these hoe asses gone say

I know a guy who is 6 credit hours from graduation and has been for 20 years.

I make roughly 100k a year with OT and bonus and excellent benefits on top of that.

What do you think you will make coming out of college with say a business degree ? 35-40 k

Then you will hate life more

This was basically me. I miscalculated because I am an idiot and joined the military, then 9/11 hit.

I went back a few years ago and had to do 2 semesters to finish 12 hours. Decided I may as well take a full course load and that shite was like a vacation.

College is a lot easier when you aren’t hung over every day.

5 years will fly by, so why not have a degree from LSU when it does?

I started my second degree at 27. The immaturity level was too much, so I switched to UNO. At LSU, I found it hard to have basic conversations about coursework, because the kids had no life experience, and they were also constantly playing on their computers during class.

At UNO, most students were around 22-24 starting out, and there were plenty of people older than 25 as freshman. I could relate to them better, they were more serious about coursework, and having discussions about material was much easier.


Eta: I flunked out twice during my first degree. Everyone told me to quit. Switched majors to something I really enjoyed, and my GPA for my junior and senior years was 3.5 IIRC

Money and security factors into my happiness

But I see your point

Is 100k considered excellent pay in louisiana?

Almost anywhere with a decent cost of living. Except the OT of course.

Also, not sure how I could survive on that now

I nearly failed out and went back in my late 20s. Going back and getting my degree was the best thing I’ve ever done.
