and i wasn't "dissing" you for having a kid... i was pointing out that you considered college a waste of time because it is going to put me in debt, when you are about to have a kid that in the end is going to cost you wayyyyyyy more than my college degree is going to cost me... AND, having a child isn't an investment that in the end is going to pay itself off in career opportunities.

having a kid is a wonderful thing, don't get me wrong... i'm just saying that making the argument that i'm somehow wasting my money because i'm going to be in-debt after getting my college degree isn't a very solid argument to make when you're about to have a kid that is going to cost you MORE than my degree. better SPuL? :hump:

and "pointless ass degree that will never get you anywhere"????????????

ummmmmmmmm, okay. so you just claimed that with your (maybe, i'm not even sure) high school degree you are able to establish a solid future for you and your child working at various businesses. so, when i have that degree PLUS another one, i'm somehow not going to be able to establish that "solid" future that you have? that argument is weak, it doesn't make any sense. look, you might not realize it because you're so young, but advancing in ANY career becomes extreeeeeeeemely difficult without a college degree of some kind, it is a requirement for most advancements... ESPECIALLY in the business world.
