re: Is it worth taking out more student loans to live the college experience?

A part time job won’t pay for any living expenses, food, etc. it will probably just cover my tuition

This is a great career. Stay the community college route and find an appraiser to apprentice with. Once you get your certifications and established, go out on your own. I have two friends that did this and they both do very well for themselves.

So what would you do in my situation?

Grow up.

I have 500 tinder matches and probably another 500 that deleted their accounts...

Everything I listed is capable of that through advancement. I’m talking about pays 100k by the time I’m 30-35. Also going to live in the city in my 20s probably until I get married

that option?
The reality is the meaningless flings and parties that you attend and participate in to have the "college experience" are probably not worth being 40-60k in debt when you graduate with a Bachelor's that may/may not guarantee you have a job.

40 is probably the top end, but if you need to take out a little money to be able to have a good college experience, it's worth it, if you major in something like accounting, finance, engineering, etc.

I could have gotten money back to go to the small schools in Louisiana, but chose to go to LSU where everything was more expensive. Totally worth it.

So 1000 matches? Yet you need the internet for advice, and ask how to convince girls to date you?

By your own admission you’re a good looking guy with zero game. That’s not something to brag about.

I am 22 and asked for advice on making a 27 year old girl I was hooking up with my girlfriend (in hindsight thank God I didn’t)

I don’t see how that correlates here, but alright...

If you have to ask, you have zero game. None.

We don’t know you, so we can’t give real advice. People here will say to major in something like engineering, and that’s a great piece of advice for someone with the ability, but where are you academically?

My childhood best friend saw the red sports car our orthodontist drove when we were kids and proclaimed she was going to be an orthodontist. Her parents 100% encouraged it throughout her life, and even pushed for it. She made very average grades. Went to a big university and was failing trying to keep up with the math and science courses required to go the dental route, and finally 3 years in had to change her major to something that would allow her to just have the piece of paper and graduate. (I say this with no judgment — I absolutely hated math and science too)

Point being. If there are higher paying/reliable degree programs you’re truly interested in and can handle, certainly go for it. But if you aren’t interested in these fields you named, and/or you arent that high performing of a student, think hard about it.

You don’t want to end up having wasted all that money for a piece of paper that is meaningless.

Have you considered just moving somewhere else with more young people and not attending college? Just working full time?
