Although I don't know a LOT of people in college, I do know a few. I haven't seen that they're just gliding through school. But I am slightly out of the loop these days. Perhaps you know something that I do not.

Either way, I cannot see how getting a degree could be perceived in any shape, form or fashion a negative. If nothing else, having a degree shows an ability to follow through with something.

I highly agree with this. Knowledge is power.
The business isnt for everybody especially as far as making it a career. A degree will always be something legit to fall on just in case.

Also its not something that you just show up and glide through. Its hours of dedication and hard work. Recieving a degree I think is a major accomplishment not many people are able to achieve.


Anyway back on topic, Maybe some local counselors may have some resources of where a person can receive that kind of help.

I recently got to experience this to a T... when my purse, and car were stolen... iI was literally terrified, I had no choice but to ask for help and as a result was belittled, made a complete fool and blamed for my own situation by my "peers"
With heart felt gratitude .... I did find help and have been able to scrape by because of that help...but all in all, it was the worst thing I've ever been through in my life.

I pray to never experience fear like that again...or the heart break....I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I'm making sure my ass is covered from now on.....
