Parents kicking me out

UNi fees are a max of £9000 per year , thats what they generally charge.. Student borrows the money from the GOV ( [link to www.gov.uk (secure)] only after graduation and earning over £21k, a % of wages, if stop working you do not have to pay.

Maybe you are on to something there.
I have seen that before myself.
Once you see the forest for the trees you can see anything.

Did the snowflake ever reveal what the degree it got was in?

Join the military and man the fuck up.

Well good. That's the correct way to feel. Now make it happen. It will work if you stay determined and you'll appreciate finally managing your own life once you get established.

When I was 21 years old my older brother basically did the same to me. Just out of the blue one day he got in my face cussing and told me to get the ---- out. I did and now 25 years later I own my home and have a little nest egg set aside. His job is not too guaranteed and he is always making hints of staying with me just for a short time if ever needed. Yea right.

You can do it and never give up OP.

You all are in the wrong field.

HEALTHCARE!!!

I am a nurse and I have to block people from calling me about jobs.

I am always being approached about bigger and better opportunities and to anywhere in the world, as well.

I love helping people, seeing the world and making a decent living to boot.

Your parents are CONSPIRING against you. As you get older you will realize everyone is conspiring against you.

you should come work over here

Hey OP, become a welder, they make good money

In 1955, I maked 2 bucks an hr. That is a lot of money

(I have to agree with this. It leads to no good.)
Psychologists can be amazing people who can inspire others to do great things. Businesses are always looking for mind coaches. I'm sure there is online niche somewhere that you can exploit to help pay off the remaining college loans.

I know, but I am not in England anymore, I raised my daughter here, she is a U.S. citizen, I need to find a way to get her through college here. Financial aid, scholarships...anything. She had it tough growing up because of my own poor choices, I want better for her, she wants better for her. I just don't know how best to help her at this point. She is about a million times more sensible than I was at her age, don't want to see it go to waste, know what I mean?

Whoa. That's intense. RIP Warrior

Send her to Canada. She can get the government to put her through up here. Especially if she is not white.

She is very white. A lot of the hardship scholarships that I looked into require you to not be white, sucks to be white, I guess.

You don't know this guy and what he went through so don't be a cunt all your life. I have a fairly distinguished degree and I remember the time I went through out of school trying to find work. I got through university doing labor intensive work which kept the debt down but didn't help my career.

I don't blame you OP for not wanting to flip burgers but maybe take a job below your standards in a company with an opportunity to move up. Prove yourself and they'll promote you.

Most of the people on this forum are ex/active military/intelligence. You came to wrong place to look for consolation. Get a job in espionage/counter intelligence then come back and talk shit, like everybody else does.

Where is op? I offered him a job and free housing and haven't gotten his resume. Close the thread, this bitch wants to complain not lace up his boots. There's plenty of opportunity in America. Remember only 20% of people were unemployed during the Great Depression, no one talks about the other 80%. If someone is losing money in stocks, someone else is gaining...

Opie, you're a fucking bum.

Get a job, any job, and get your shit together.

This is a troll thread.

military (become an officer, they make more money too, better retirement).

intentional communities (the experience gives references. You could even write a book. If you blog your experiences, gain a huge following, you'll eventually be able to get a decent book deal).

cocktail waitress if you're female. I didn't catch if you were male/female.

landscaping if you are willing to put in a lot of effort.

move to a city with lower priced houses. couchsurf until you have enough solid references for a job.

crowdfunding sites also can help out too, if you are good at writing the sob story and have enough friends willing to help out and share the link. Fund stuff like: hiking the appalachian, kayaking down the mississippi. Only use 50% of the proceeds and promise to donate the other half to a certain charity.

If she is first in her class she can get into a good school for free, get good grades there and transfer to a great school for the last 2 years. I went to community college for 2 years and had a 3.9 gpa, the. To penn state free for the last 2 years of school. Then I went to pharmacy school and only paid $40k for that which I made triple my loans each year for the 3-4 years I worked in big pharma. Now I have my own real estate company and answer to no one.

"why did I go to college if that's what I'm going to end up with"

To get easy pussy for 4 years

society has squandered its inheritance on trinkets…

OP: ASK GOD what to do!

"I am a most unworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvelous presence. For the execution of the journey to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. It is simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah prophesied…"

"No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service. The working out of all things has been assigned to each person by our Lord, but it all happens cording to His sovereign will, even though He gives advice. He lacks nothing that is not in the power of men to give Him. Oh what a gracious Lord, who desires that people should perform for Him those things for which He holds Himself responsible! Day and night, moment by moment, everyone should express their most devoted gratitude to Him."

--Christopher Columbus (and real reason why he is maligned)

The Light and the Glory, p. 15

Well, I really busted my butt as an undergrad. I worked 2 jobs, one as a caretaker for an autistic child, and another at a retail store in the mall, so I was basically working full-time and going to school full-time. It was rough, I won't lie. But it is possible to do (work and go to school). By senior year, I felt pretty burned-out, so I dropped one of my jobs and took a loan my senior year.

But I also applied for all kinds of scholarships and wound up getting some money through that. There's all kinds of scholarships that a lot of people would never even think about or haven't even heard of. I used to do regular searches trying to find out what types of money I could get through different programs (for example, there was one paid internship and research grant that I got because I am half Puerto Rican, lol). Any kind of demographic feature that might make your daughter stand out...they will have some kind of scholarship for it.

If she is going to be an international student, the university itself may have all kinds of financial offerings to her...and also...most universities will admit international students over domestic students with even identical transcripts. As unfair as that may be for domestic students, it's the truth. When you said you were from the UK, I wasn't sure of the status of your daughter, so that's why I mention that. If your daughter is a citizen, definitely try to stay in-state. In-state tuition is only a fraction the cost of out-of-state tuition. And if your daughter is a citizen, I bet you they might even have something like... some kind of scholarship for 1st generation kids. I wouldn't be surprised.

Make sure she does well on her SAT's or ACT's (or whatever entrance exams she is taking). College admissions have a logistical regression equation where they plug in test scores with GPA, and it's supposed to predict future success in college. I really wish there wasn't such a heavy reliance on test scores, but there is. Companies like Kaplan and Princeton Review have classes she can take on improving her test scores and include practice tests.

The whole thing is such a racket, I know.

If your daughter decides to go to grad school...there's a good chance it could all be free (like it was for me). Almost ALL grad schools offer partial or full funding if you work for the university. In my particular program, every single one of us was garuanteed full funding. So, it wasn't just me, but ALL of us got tuition waivers and stipends, provided we worked as teaching or research assistants.

I'm not sure why that part is not more common knowledge, because every grad school I even applied to had partial or full funding, and I applied to about 20.

Oh yeah...which reminds me too...make sure she applies to enough schools. At least 12-15. And getting started in her applications about a year ahead of time will help...because they make the whole process as tedious and as complicated as possible, and every single application will be different, have different essays, etc. And make sure she highlights unique cultural factors about herself in her essays. They put a big emphasis on that in admissions.

I know it's overwhelming...but if she's as motivated and successful as she sounds, she should be able to do it! :)

Because you are a GREAT person!

Ooops, sorry for that double post...I was having issues posting, I think because the message was so long.

Fuck you and your walls of text.
