You can do waht I do, and work during the day, go to school at night. I'm still a full time student and I have time enough for 2 jobs during the day.
If you think getting above minimum wage is going to be enough in life...well I hope you realize how pitiful that is before it's too late. I make between $9-13/hour, and even if I was working 50 hours a week, I could barely afford my own apartment, food, appliances, car, health insurance, etc. You really need college, even if you hate it.
Trust me, I HATE SCHOOL! But it's something I have to do if I want to be ANYBODY with the rest of my life. Plus I'd like to be able to afford to raise a family, without college...that would be REALLY hard.
Oh, btw...I haven't been here in like...3-4 months lol. What's up everyone?!?!??!
