Your College Funding http://yourcollegefunding.com/blog A discussion to aid students in finding college money Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:02:36 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Can you take a break between your first and second year of college? http://yourcollegefunding.com/blog/can-you-take-a-break-between-your-first-and-second-year-of-college/ http://yourcollegefunding.com/blog/can-you-take-a-break-between-your-first-and-second-year-of-college/#comments Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:02:36 +0000 Gene http://yourcollegefunding.com/blog/can-you-take-a-break-between-your-first-and-second-year-of-college/ I just relocated to another state and my finances for college are not how I expected them to be. I’ll probably be able to manage getting this year paid for, but I’m not sure about next year. Is it at all possible to take a break after this first year, and then start again the year after next, when I’ll have the money I need? Or would I have to start over as a freshman again?

Therefore, it will become difficult/competitive to get jobs because everyone has the degree and it may end up not looking that special because just about everyone will have one. What happened to all other fields of study. Ina few years college will just be changed to colleges of business (LOL) because no one wants to major in other fields, leading the fields of business to be very competitive.

Since I didn’t come from one of the business fields, (sales, marketing, finance/accounting), and came from engineering instead, there’s no promotion path for me.

But it seems pretty hard to get into grad school (besides joke grad schools like U Phoenix) in the first place. It almost feels like the college admissions council gets to decide whether I can become a manager more than the people at any job I’m at.

I have a marijuana charge but the judge dismissed it because I had a medical marijuana card (I’m from California). Do you think this will prevent me from getting a job? I have a 3.75 GPA.
