    Money Concerns for Recent Graduates

    With the money I pay every month for my loans I could afford the rent to live alone somewhere for $1500/month. Writing those checks is SO hard. Damn you loans!!!!!

    Serves you right for going to a private university.
    I'm excited about the tuition waivers in phd programs. Except John Jay College (CUNY) that I really really really would LOVE to go to, who doesn't offer that. What's wrong with them? Argh.
    That's when I'd have to take out loans. Living in Manhattan and having to pay 8k a year for school won't be easy. Beats USC tuition though, so I guess it could be worse.
    I probably won't even get in there, so it won't be an issue. Not gonna get my hopes up on that one.

      But see I have it all rationalized in my head. If I hadn't gone to USC I would never have gotten the job that pays me that much a month, entry level, so I wouldn't have any money. So with the degree, I have the job, I have the salary, and once I pay back the loan it's all mine, MIIINE! :-D

          Why do you want a slave?

          You DO know slavery was abolished quite a few years ago, right?

            It's obvious why I want a slave and I ask it to you because I've heard at school, that slavery was legal in the US...isn't it?

              Yeah, 'cause you know, no one from a cheaper school ever gets a job at 40K a year, right?

                I can't wait til I'm done with school in 3 or 4 years. It'll be great. 9-10 years so I can make 40-45K. It'll be so great. ARGH!
                b/f was making 60K out of high school before the dot com crash. He's back up to that level now. Just finished B.A. and is due for another raise in a few months.
                It's not fair! Why should a systems manager make more than an asst. professor?

                  I didn't say no one from a cheaper school gets a salary. I was rationalizing MY going to USC, not anything anyone else did. Also, if I had gone to community college and then transferred then I wouldn't have gotten out as soon as I did. As for my salary, I never said I make only 40K a year.
