I don't think so breh, just ask the staff at each college's financial aid office for the school code... you can enter more than one school code on the fafsa website if I'm not mistaken....

the best way to do it would be getting general ed out the way at community college, transfer to university to get the bachelor's. save a shit load of money.
grants and scholarships and the fafsa form are a must. this is America and there is a lot of free money out there for education.
if you are good with numbers, pursue a career with math. accounting. or get paid and go to finance. math gets you paid in the real world.
go to college for the puss too. I got my grad degree and now I work about 28 hrs a week making a full time salary.
the benefits will not become apparent immediately. keep that in mind. but time will pass, as it always does, and getting a degree now will pay off in the future.

I might go to grad school for a masters in professional counciling if the money is right in that career path, I heard picking the right discipline in grad school is detrimental because there is a good chance a masters won't pay off unless its in specific fields where the price of the investment justifies the cost of school via the reward of a higher paying job once you get the degree. I heard with the way the economy is right now alot of people are changing fields and going back to schools to get MBAs.
We'll see how I can handle these 300- 400 level classes first, If I go for a masters I'll probably go part time and let my experience stack up while going to school. I'm sure a Masters (preferably an MBA) would elevate my career, I'm just not the most mathematically inclined person in the world. One reason I switched to communications is I didn't want to take 2 more semesters of Calculous and a semester of stats to get a degree, not to mention those pain in the ass accounting courses. Once I was done with college algebra I think I treated myself to a baseball steak and threw a party for myself!

I'm the type of kid you've seen in the hallways for years (Van Wilder), but I never seem to advance or move up, but that changed last year after my father passed away. I had to become determined enough for my own sake to finish my college degree, and I did just that.
I went from never having received an A grade final in a class (in all of my college career), to receiving 4 A's and one B last semester. My cumulative GPA was 1.53 going into that semester, and my term grade last semester landed me on the Dean's List with a 3.77. I also graduated last semester with my associates.
I have been studying psychology for some time, but will now be putting that on the back burner as a minor and will be majoring in theater with an emphasis on acting and stage direction. A speech professor of mine has been encouraging me to pursue acting, as well as my family for most of my life, so given the opportunities that he's given me and my new found determination to succeed with the most optimal results, I'm switching it up to try a new venture. I hope to transition to film one day.
I use to make excuses about how bad the teachers sucked, how hard the classes were, etc. until I grew a sack and accepted responsibility for my shortcomings. Turns out, school is pretty easy for me. It's too bad I wasted so much time partying and not giving a fuck because it has changed my life for the better.

Went to Cal State Stanislaus for my Bachelors (Bus Mgmt) and University of the Pacific for my MBA (Finance).
Everytime I hear people (uneducated) talking about you dont need school to make money I kind of chuckle. While it is true you dont, most of my friends who didnt go to college are stuggling to find $12/hr jobs.

thats me. i fucked around so much in high school. dropped out got my GED. Now im making 8.75 an hr and barely making enough money to afford anything. I pay rent and bills and put gas in my car and then im left with 20 bucks.
I figured id go and get a ba in accounting then try to move on and get a masters in it. Thats the goal but i have to try to get in to school first. ima call the two beezies from these schools tomorrow and go from there.

studied sociology and religious studies at san diego state
getting my masters in sociology of education at new york univ right now...will finish in may. its not gonna make me rich...or even close to it, but ive loved my higher ed experience and wouldnt trade it for anything. i wouldnt mind being a full time student my whole life
you could probably relate to my friend. he got his BA in accounting from univ of san diego last may....put him 90k in debt and in about 3 months found a banking job with chase. plans on doing that for a couple of years then wants to be a financial analyst. to be honest hes not the smartest guy, but he's just really determined and follows financial news and stock market and shit really closely now....basically he really loves money haha. he said hes noticed theres a lot of ppl within the banks who dont even have a college degree....just skills and they gradually move up. this might start changing though cause of the credential saturation our societys going through right now

college ain't the only path in life. vocational schools can be beneficial too, big time.
really, whatever it is you do, learn it front and back, and do it well. work hard. be an expert in your field. life will reward you.
don't let drugs or alcohol be the reason you don't pursue anything career wise, ever (I know this personally).
money ain't the end all to people's problems but definitely helps you (and your family) live decently. and that is big, imo: providing for your loved ones.
