1. I slowly put myself through school

and have a "useless" degree and I still think it's worth it. Not only does having a degree help with jobs, but I actually think education and self-fulfillment are inherently good, regardless of how it affects your career. You also will have experiences that can be every bit as enlightening and educating as anything you learn in class.

I say go for it.

5. I've an appointment scheduled for Thursday.

Some warned me off of it, loans and all, but others are adamant it is the right thing to do.

And they are right.

For many reasons.

And there's one factor in all of this I need to remember:

Keep the faith.

Frankly, you'll learn more in a public library and the real world, but a degree still holds value.

Just don't throw it away by boozing and screwing. (Then again, you seem far too interesting a person to take that route.)

7. Well, booze costs too much (I prefer computer circuits) and as for screwing,

I don't need to put together any more furniture. :D

8. It's beneficial to have a degree.

Many corporations have glass ceilings for the undegreed.
