Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angcuru" data-source="post: 2190177" data-attributes="member: 10948">This thread puts my current situation into perspective.  After two years (as of the coming August) at community college, I'll have my AA in Psychology.  I love the subject, I have great understanding of it, and it's versatile + high demand.  However, having put in my transfer application to Kean University to continue my education in Psychology, I have yet to recieve a reply. Now, I have landed a summer job in the construction business making about as much as I can expect to make once I have my BA or even Masters degree.  Hard work, early start, but working one summer will pay for another two years of school, and then some.   My worry is that if my application is rejected that I'll end up working this job and not going back to school, because the money is just that good.  Because of the nature of the job, there would likely be times when I'd be out of work for weeks, even months at a time.  I don't want to be in this line of work for longer than necessary, because I have my father as an example of what working in construction for your whole life can do to a person.Actually, what I'm worried about is actually similar to what happened to my dad.  He was a mathematics major at Kean in the mid 70s, and because he was attending on financial aid, and Affrimative Action cut him off from that financial aid, he was unable to finish his degree in Advanced Mathematics.  Went into the construction business, didn't look back, now in constant pain.</blockquote>
