I'm back to school after 10 years off. Married, 2 kids, and dirt poor means Pell grants cover everything.

I just paid off my debt 3 days ago, cut the biggest check of my life and paid off my school loans from the community college. Now to decide if I should go on to a 4 year institution and get some useless degree, or get another cheap useless degree from the local comm college again.. hmm

associates in plumbing and heating? thats news one to me. I knew they had vocational schools for this kind of shit...

IDK, not to be a debbie downer, but seems kinda... senseless? just go work for a plumbing business for 2 years and dont waste your money, imo. I think in that line of work they're gonna look more at actual experience than school shit. Taking a class or two can't hurt though I guess

Go vocational for most trade work, much cheaper, the paper really does not help in most hands on fields

Don't be too worried about the debt. Student loan debt is the best kind to have.

have you seen if they will hire you without the degree? Or if they would pay more for you having the degree? No offense but I would imagine you would start out on the bottom rung no matter what and have to prove yourself either way. How much is this school going to cost you? More power to you for finding something you want to do though, i think thats the tough part.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2009, 08:25:29 PM »

I'm at 25k$ of dept

Growing exponentialy since I moved 2 years ago. I have more payment and less cash $:-\$

If I can get a job like my girlfriend at 50k out of school and 75k$ in 5 years I will be happy even if I have some dept.

I have a car to turbo'ed too, we have to choose our priorities

+1

My first job out of high school was making $14/hr, and we were paid less than the other local companies were paying their employees. If I paid a bunch of money to go to school and got a degree and could only get jobs paying in the $14/hr range I would be fucking livid.

Logan76 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2009, 09:58:45 PM »

In allegheny county you need to have a degree to do any plumbing work. I dont know jack about plumbing, there arent any schools for what I do/did. I miss my job. Anyone here have their CDL? I may be getting my Class A here soon, On my own though I wouldnt pay to take classes thats for sure.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2009, 10:00:45 PM »

lol I make 13$/hour and I'm not out of school. If I don't make 25$/hour when I get out of school I drop right now

they will hire w/o one but will want u to attend school if you do not have prior education ..so either way they expect some type of education ... acording to my uncle who is in plumbing people comming in w/ a degree are makin 5-10 more then what he make's and hes been the for years w/ no education or gas license ...( gas license i can recieve at the end of my education)
the cost w/o my grants and student loans was orriginally $18,800 for this year and my secound year will be around $22,000 -$24,000...the secound year is more because the gas course is 4 months extra ... but thats where the big money is ( from my understandin)

Dude Go find your Local plumbers or pipefitters union and try to get in.. Dont waste your time getting a degree in heating at that price..

hatchbox90 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2009, 11:01:58 PM »

IMO i wouldnt waste my money on school for a trade, i got into the electrical trade making 8$ an hour and in two years i doubled my salary, 4 years later and im making 21/ hour.

ive seen a couple guys we hired that came from perry tech/trade school and they dont know a damn thing when it comes to field work

as much as im not a fan of unions, you get hands on work and you have classes as night. Your get paid a shit load too when you start out, you just gotta stick with it.

Ryan89crx is a pipefitter apprentice and he started out at like 18 or 19 and hour(package was like 35 and hour) and i dont know what he is making now but its a shit load. tough work tho, long hours and 3 or 4 nights a week of school

im a ct g8 welder and a ct and ma s4 apprentice

my shop rate is 27.40 but ive never made it. i soak prevailing wage 40+ hr straight for 2 yrs now because otrex gets it done

im on pace for almost 90k this yr. i made 81k last yr.

fuckin a the trades are where its at. but it is some tough motherfucking work. thats why we get paid so much. 80 percent of anyone couldnt hack it

speedjunky01 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 30, 2009, 11:36:17 PM »

depends what field you get inot, for me loans work out great

total price of schooling = 30,000

after two years im making 65,000/yr so its not bad

right now im doing laundry in a nursing home making 14/hr and not liking it

IDK if you work for someone with that degree not sure you will be making a lot, but if you do some private side work along with it cant be too bad of pay

itt: stupid fucks going to "college" to make less than hot dog vendors....
if you are not a full time student and make less than 20$ an hour, then you need to figure your shit out... I cant even see how adults could be satisfied living like that... I mean for the few of you who dont live with your parents, fucking rent alone should kill more than half of what you make

fuck man 20/hr here in western PA is considered pretty damn good, you guys have to take in to account the cost of living where your at. I'm a union industrial mechanic, and I have alot of freinds that are in coal mines or other unions and the most I've heard of someone making around here in a union is 33/hr. Maybe its just because were a bunch of backwoods motherfuckers?
