[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2990916, member: 423"] I am a mechanical engineer, and it's still going to take me 10 years to pay off my loans, and I didn't have near 100% of my school on loans. More like 25%. I am finally at the end of that tunnel. My brother is graduating with his ME degree soon and has no loans, because he didn't do the "straight to expensive 4 year college" path, and lived at home for the first couple years. I wanted to hug my professors that did that. I almost wonder if they pay profs who use the current edition textbook. It's ridiculous. I bought a 9th (or whatever it was) edition textbook for calc, only to find out they were going to use the "enhanced" 9th edition - the difference was about 10-15 extra homework problems at each section, and full color vs 2-color. The extra problems I think were thrown in by the publisher to change page numbers, which made it near impossible to use the older (much cheaper) book. I was not thrilled. Another time I bought a current edition physics book ($300), dropped the class and re-enrolled the next semester to find there was a new edition. Another $300. For one class! Screw that! [/QUOTE]
