[quote=Anonymous]I was lucky enough to go to college and could stay with grandparents/friends/other relatives when I couldn't stay at school.  I worked 3 jobs (equal to full time work) while carrying 18 credit hours so that I could get through school as quickly as possible and minimize my debt.  Between work and classes/HW, I had virtually no time to just kick back or party.  It also wasn't great to have to rotate through people's homes. I was lucky that I was always welcomed but I could never shake the feeling that I was imposing.  I joined Peace Corps right after graduation and, honestly, I lived better as a volunteer than I had as a college student.  Although it wasn't an easy assignment, I never had to worry about housing or having enough money.  I actually had free time! I had friends, I could travel, I could host people.  It really helped me figure out what 'normal' was.

One of my older siblings couldn't make college work (for a variety of reasons) so he quit his 3rd year and spent the next 12 years in the military.  Another older sibling was able to get an apprenticship and his boss/coworkers helped him get on his feet and stay there.  My younger brother wasn't so lucky.  Although my older brother with the apprenticship did all he could to help, my younger brother descended into addiction/vice and died at age 20. [/quote]
