    Oh, did you go to college at all?
    Why not attempt to get a scholarship or at least a loan from the AGBU or Gulbenkian? It would certainly reduce the hours you'd have to work, no?

    I would think, with that idealistic mindset of mine, that going back would certainly be worth it. Especially for those who can obviously succeed.

    As for the law degree, I'm more interested in international law, which I think can also be quite useful for Armenia in this day and age, and the whole process of legislation, yevayln.

      I went back to school after three years out. Of course, I went back as an undergrad. I had to phase myself out to the point where I only work on weekends right now, and struggle terrible financially because of it. Next year, though, I'll be 24 and without my parents income as a factor, and with the very minimal amount of money I made last year, I will get enough financial aid to not have to work any more. It wasn't easy to do, I'll admit, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.

        I'm definitely going to grad school, possibly medical school. We'll see.

          Yeah I already have a B.S. It's not a matter of money I just can't bare to be just a student for another four years. And on a personal note "international law" seems like an oxymoron to me, don't let Canada mess up your head, laws are made by victors. I would think about it this way, if you randomly landed on any place on the planet what would people need, I'll give you a clue it's not a lawyer.

            After I get my BS degree (major bs indeed), I'll take a couple of years off from school to work and/or research. After that, like Loser, "I'm definitely going to grad school, possibly medical school. We'll see."

              I DID say I want to study law abroad, didn't I?
              I'm not really into being a lawyer. It's just the knowledge in law that I think can be useful for whatever endeavor I might be pursuing later on.

              As for going back to school, I can understand that it can be quite hard. But it just sounds too much like a situation where you don't do something, and then regret it later on. Why not consider studying abroad? It might not seem so chorelike, and can make the whole thing fun, or at least funner. But then again, many things could be holding you back in NY. In what field would you go in if you were to go to grad school?

              And I don't know...your highest education being summed up as B.S. just doesn't sound too good.

                Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Making lots of money out of school then going back is going to be hard but it's all for better things to come after it's all over.

                What was your major?

                  Business. If you are a grad student and work full or 3/4 of the time I need to know how many times per week on averege do you get the urge to shoot yourslef.

                      yey for procrastinating...can't work before midnight anyway (5 mins to that)
                      my plan right now is as follows:
                      go to dental school after undergrad, become a dentist (obviously)...then go back to school part time and get a PhD in biophysics, some whacked out plan ...though it changes from day to day...maybe substitute in med school for dental (but then I wouldn't have time for biophys) ...ahh ...the future creeps me out !!!
