| Oh I didn’t even think about that. I’ve only heard from state schools so far and my state doesn’t really have a flagship or anything so I don’t think we have housing problems like some really big schools do. |

| Quiet Valley - that's the thing, since I applied EA to a school with housing issues and housing opens Feb 9, now I'm stuck. |

| Room and board is stupid expensive but you get the traditional student experience living on or near campus, which I really enjoyed. The school I work for now has zero housing, we don't even offer any housing support, and is fully commuter. You save a lot of money if family is still allowing you to live at home |

| Zrek, you still have a few months to decide, right? I’m also applying this cycle and most places don’t require a deposit until May 1 |

| I'm trying to make sure I keep my options open and since I already applied to colleges I'm not sure if I should accept and then defer a semester to try trades or go straight into it in the summer, or what. The whole housing thing complicates it so much more and it's driving me nuts. |

| The downside was he had to travel out of state frequently for months at a time |

| My former stepfather was an orbital welder who did contract work and made absolute bank. The work was hard on him though. I don't know where he's at now, but he was still working into his 60s |

| Trades are in dire need of people I will say. I was a certified MAG welder for the company I worked for and it was fun and paid very well |

| Ven - see I visited a nicer trades x artisan school and liked it. It's just now I'm concerned that even if I did like physical work, that I'd be trapped in my field when I'm older and my body doesn't function as well. |

| I'm just concerned about wasting time - 2 years doing gen ed is a lot of wasted $$ and exploration time |

| As someone who works for a university, I also would not be upset about my own kid going to trade school instead. It's just so expensive and no guarantee of a job. |

| Ven - thing is I applied with the intention of going out of state. So do you think I could do that going to a Uni doing just gen eds and then declare later, or transfer to a different one? |
| Angels angels |
| Of course my mare decided she likes a stud that is super expensive lol |

| Knock out gen ed credits at community college, then transition to a four-year school when you figure out your major |

| Anyone feel like sharing advice? - currently feeling super confused about what I'm even doing anymore; I applied to some colleges but am so lost and don't know if I'm making the right moves. I feel like every option is the wrong one and whatever I like won't make me financially stable or even if I go to college for financial stability I won't choose the right thing. |
