School or Work

Prof Lauro wants to know: If you could transfer to ANY four year college, which one would it be? What's your dream school?

As far as schools go. Right now I am not quite sure what I want to do. I plan on getting married within the next year or so. So, I am tossed up whether or not I should just go in to real estate after two years and eventually become a broker. Or, go for the four year and then go into real estate or something along the lines of business. I suppose I will probably go for the four year degree. But, as easy as this school stuff comes to me, I am really sick of it. I just want to work already! To answer the question about what my dream school would be, it's simple. Penn State. My brother is a senior at PSU for Mechanical Engineering. It would be so cool to start a family tradtion at PSU. I also LOVE the campus. It is beautiful and continually grows bigger and bigger. The students are awesome! They are all so friendly and open. The parties are a blast and abundant. From what my brother tells me at least from an engineering major point of view, the classes can be challenging. Which it is probably safe to say that a major along the lines of business will not be as rigourous as his. So a little challenge would be good. I'm pretty confident I could get in to Penn State too. My GPA right now stands somewhere between a 4.0 and a 3.6. I can get a 4.0 if I just write more of these damn blogs lol. My SAT scores were average. I got a 1540 with all the subjects added up. I dont know how to convert it to the new score though. But I know it equaties to an avgerage score. Plus, I have quite a few teachers I could go to for a letter of recomendation. However, the flip side to going to PSU is the cost. It's $38,000 a year for my brother right now. I could'nt do that to my poor dad. He'd pay for it. Then he'd have a heart attack. Unless, I could get a scholarship, It's not worth it. Not for a business degree any way. I'd rather go to Kean University. It's about 45 minutes to an hour away from my boyfriend's house. So I would'nt have to live there. I could work in real estate and go to school. I could afford it on my own. And they offer a pretty good Marketing program. That seems like my best option right now. Rutgers is really close to his house. It's only a half hour away. But, I dont like there business program. It's limmited to a more general business degree and I want to go in to marketing. Madaun a Mia! So many decissions, so little time! Tempus Fugit!
