It is a HUGE mistake to take out loans for a college degree that will be obsolete when you complete. Everything is about supply and demand. Fuck college. The only reason college exist is if you are going to INVENT something. College is not originally for you to get a job afterward, it is for you to START a business or INVENT a product. You can get a JOB now, why go to college for a "good job". This is what is irritating about the government. the reason they say it is good for the economy is the simple fact they have money that continually go into their pockets as long as you take the bait. The best thing to do is SELF study and CREATE a product. I recommend the self study of economics , then branch into a "subject" of interest. First , and only First , SELF study economics so you can learn how to hedge against your community downfalls as you are working at a decent job. Once you create your own wealth through economics/decent job. then study in a subject you please. OH, and never worry about age.
