[QUOTE="MisterDeadeye, post: 7407974, member: 611015"] Well, it was originally going to be chemical engineering. I took the ACT twice, and got a 33, and planned big. Then, before I got to college, I decided I'd rather be a marine biologist(had kind of been my "dream" since I was young), so I decided to major in Biology. I only applied to one school -- University of Nebraska - Lincoln(that's the football one). Even though I got a 33 and had a 4.0(lulz... school wasn't something I even took seriously. I'm sure most/some of you know where I'm coming from), I didn't get any scholarships, and didn't qualify for financial aid, so I had to take out a crap ton of loans. After I got there, and after being there for a few weeks, I developed a distaste of college, and academia in general. I don't really want to explain further, and it gets kind of convoluted and moral. So, right now, I'm just getting by for a while. I have a half-baked plan to eventually start a computer store with a friend, and I only need to take a few tests to be able to actually follow through with it. I'm trying to find a job that's not fast food or Walmart, but still close enough that I don't have to rely on my crap car to take me 100+ miles every day. I'm thinking some kind of repetitive manual labor. [/QUOTE]
