I am totally regretting my decision to go to college right now. I don’t why I even chose to further my education in the first place. I should have known that college was only for those who could afford it, for example the rich. I don’t have a job, my mom doesn’t have a good paying job, and my dad, well he doesn’t have a good paying job either (he doesn’t even live with us). I don’t have enough scholarship money nor enough grant money to cover the costs of college. The deadline to pay the balance is the end of September and I haven’t even received payment for my on-campus job, yet. And to add to my frustration, they are going to add a late payment fee to my already exceedingly high balance, as if it wasn’t hard enough to pay it. I think I probably should have gotten a job right after high school instead of going to college. I didn’t have the means to pay for college anyway, so it would have made more sense to get a job. Plus, I would be receiving a steady income instead of paying for college out of my rear-end. Going to college was the wrong move for me.
Was there a less expensive alternative?
