The Feed - News That Doesn't Hurt

Before the fantasies about college comes about.  You are going to need at least $80,000 to graduate any college or university due to costs of living (the number one respected universities, such as Harvard, you are going to need at least $120,000 or more).  There are many crooked companies out there who do not respect anyone, and will pay you less than what it takes to even graduate college, so be aware of your options.  Cost of living is at a minimum of $20,000 per year and this is bare bones and with you in good health.  I remember High School working and being paid less than any cost of living while they expected my daddy to support them for even a vehicle to show up, and then facing a university expectation.  There are the cheap bastards who want the education for employment, but they do not pay, including the ones who really want the advance college diplomas (seen this again and again).  The worst are the bigot managers who, because of the competition, automatically place anyone without any university education into the animal label pile with serious consequences in Law as people give the wrong impression to put down anyone.
 

Want to enter college, then take the SAT or ACT or entrance exams starting at age 16.  I scored high at age 16 after prompted by my High School counselor and gained entrance for after my High School graduation, and I knew people at age 18 and who were graduating High School who scored half of my score and below the needed point to enter.  College is expensive, so should your parents start talking that $5,000 is too much, then college is not for you (I heard this one and it is the parents wanting a free ride and the dad is making $100,000 per year leaving a uncertain future--parent status does not denote god-hood), because you are going to face a financial duress that you might not recover from--so find a trade and maybe go part time when you personally do get the money.  Life is competitive and only take the courses you need to graduate, or you could end up with education, but no recognition.  Finally, write, write, and write all the way through your Grade School and High School education where good writing skills will make it easier as you learn the advance definitions of an education.
