To all wanna-be's and soon-to-be's!

I concur fully.

The college I'm going to is SLIGHTLY more expensive... by about $4,000. But it's a state run school in Minnesota. We're taxed almost as badly as California...

There is a school in Sun Prairie Wisconsin that offers a 2 week course...
I almost crapped my pants when I saw that.

 

I plan on going through our local College here, ours is 8 weeks and only 3k.

 

Community college here is 4 weeks and $2995.

 

How many hours per day one way do you recommend?

 

there is a guy in my class who drives about 2 hours to class, one way, every day. He gets paid mileage for it though. Through some state program or another.

 

I see. Somebody else... tax payers like me are paying for his mileage.

I suspect he is getting his training at tax payer expense as well.

I hope he gets a good job and sticks with it long enough to pay the rest of us back for covering his expenses.

 

would it make you happy that $1500 of my education is being paid for by the MN taxpayer as well.

hhmm?

I would rather my tax money be spent on someone getting an education to get a job, then to have it spent on welfare and healthcare for the lazy sons of b##$% who can't be bothered to get up in the morning.

 

If that $$$ gets you a job and you stay with it, I have no problem with it.

But I expect you to pay it back by being a long term tax payer moving forward.
