    :D Yeah... that was like my number one pick, if I could get help with tuition. They have one of the best liberal arts programs and there are only about 800 undergrads, 40 something in the writing program. They're the only college that I know of with an Appalachian strings class.

    Haha... major in writing, minor in banjo/strings, and eventually go to a recording school. That would be kickass. They have a great logo/motto. I've had my mind set mostly on schools with no frats, sororities, or football teams.

    I've been looking for places in the mountains to live, already.

    [​IMG] Well, I would have shot for Berklee if my old principal didn't ruin my chance of getting into the scholarship program I chose by cancelling battle of the bands, school eligability for the scholarship itself, and pretty much anything related to music. That dirty, tasteless, art-hating bitch. [​IMG]

    I don't really want to, yet I do. It's a strange thing.

    I'll probably finish high school... But I can't really say for sure. It's still an institution where I sit on my ass all day and have to put up with bullshit that doesn't suit my interests and probably never will.

    If I go to college, it'll only be some community college, and then it'll probably be for pottery courses at Fanshawe or Mohawk in Simcoe/Brantford.

    I kinda just want to get out and go to community college now, at the same time...


    To be quite honest, once you get to a salary of $50,000, you start to acquire more problems and that's pretty much the average stopping point to an equilibrium of a money:contentness ratio.

    It'd be great to go there, but with an AVG highschool GPA of 3.45 I think my chances are a little...slim?

    By far. And 50,000 isn't a hell of a lot of money. While people live with their parents, its easy to not care about money. When you're living on your own, eating cheap food constantly, and your friends are always doing fun things that cost money (bars, resteraunts, hockey games, road trips, shows), you'll start hating poverty with a passion.

    That wasn't my point at all.

    It's that once you start passing the 50-100k range, you begin to get to the point where you're giving your money away for things you don't really need, you end up paying out the ass in taxes (especially if you pass the million mark, thanks to Ted Kennedy).

    Yes, it's easier... but it contributes to a more active ebb and flow of cash that isn't always needed, which I really don't care for. There were a few studies on it that I've read. Logically, it ultimately depends on the person and what they're willing to put up with, as far as I can say.

    Just because you don't strictly need something doesn't stop it from being kickass.

    And a useful BA correlates more highly with higher income than working more hours... I'm not sure exactly what kind of "shit" you mean you have to put up with.

    People basically asking you for money.

    There isn't a hell of alot of difference in making 50,000 or 75,000, at least where I live, because you end up paying the difference in taxes or piss away the difference, anyway.
