[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to want to go to a college OP where you fit in, love the people and the name on your degree shouts out your ideals to strangers. Perhaps view college as something to get through as opposed to loving. Isn't that truly what a degree is for now anyway? A means to opening doors.

Plus maturing into an adult means not just opposing something because that is the option your parents want.

And I don't fault you for not wanting student loan debt, but I think waiting at least 3 years to go back as you have suggested is naive and unrealistic. [b]Something will derail your plans in the next 3 years.[/b] It almost feels as if you hope a good excuse will come up so you don't have to finish.

Just my read on your posts.

Best of luck.

OP here. This seems kinda dystopian and pre-emptively awful. Is there any reason why you say this? It's not like I'm gonna have a kid or get married in the next 3 years...[/quote]

NPm and why WWOOF or being a nanny?  If you don't feel that you're mentally stable, you shouldn't be molding and nurturing small, impressionable children.  It seems like a list of pre-fab options without much thought behind the why but that are "socially acceptable" for a certain set of UMC people interested in clout and safe options that have been well-trodden before.  You mentioned that you've never tried farming and it's a lot of hard, lonely work -- how do you know you'll like it?

PP is right about plans getting thrown out the window: no one answering the "WhErE dO yOu SeE yOuRsElF iN 5 yEaRs?" bs question at a BB bank or MBB interview would have predicted sitting at home during a worldwide pandemic.  So much is outside of our individual control.  And who's to say that those non-traditional programs will continue, that you'll be admitted to your first choice, that you'll receive full aid, or that this will be a path you want to continue down at all?[/quote]
