I’ve going through the application process and all that jazz for ITT Tech, and should be starting Monday. It’s a bloody expensive school. One semester costs about as much as my student loan for 3 years of full-time study and room/board costs at Marshall University. Work will reimburse me about 25% of the cost of tuition each semester, so that should help. And hopefully I can get finished in less than two years, especially since I have a crapload of general ed classes under my belt.

I just feel like a loser because I have no degree. I’m likely the smartest person (though I screw up a lot in life) in my family, and on paper you can’t really see that. I want to prove to everyone, including myself, that this brain works pretty darn good.
