What going to keep me warm, that right, those degrees ...

You know what I hate? Going to two classes every weekday that are each an hour and forty minutes long. ARGH! I wish I had a vacation like some other people my age. But for me, it's either school or work during the summer time.

I graduate next May, and let's just say that it'll be a while before I go back to school. I want to get my Master's, of course, but I want to get a job first so that when I apply, schools will see that I already have work experience. I am not the type of person to just stay in school after getting a degree. No. I will put it to use. If I were trying to go to medical school or something, it'd be a different story. But I'm getting a Bachelor's in finance and I'm pretty confident I can find something after getting my degree (God willing).

I guess I'm just scared that I'd end up one of those professional students. You know the type. They've been in school for 10+ years but haven't had a job since the summer of their sophomore year in high school. Are they going to medical school or getting a JD? Nope. Their working on their PhD in Creative Writing. They still depend on their parents for everything that the loans won't cover. And they have no clue what they're going to due after they graduate. They just decided to stay in school "until the job market clears up". Oh gosh. When will people understand that the number of degrees =/= success? At some point you've got to be out there taking care of yourself. It's not a good look to be thirty-something years old and still depending on other people to get by (I'm not talking about unforseen circumstances)!

I personally can't wait to be more independant. I wish these other "adults" would have the same mentality.
