Easy solution...keep going and you won't have to.
Course that leads to being 40 with a regular job, a Doctorate and $100K in debt. But, it keeps the schools in business.

No prob, school is great for the peeps that love it.
But if you start making good bank earlier on in your life and keep on going you will always beat the late starter.
Compound interest.

you see i dont want to be 40 with a regular job. im 32 and the reason im behind is because i chose to go into the military at 17 because i grew up on the streets of new york and if i didnt join id still be on the streets in new york but instead of hanging out there id be living on the streets. when i was in the military they had tuition assistance you could use along with your GI Bill but i put all my efforts in my job. i saw so many guys try to go to school while in and got screwed. either they sacrificed their evaluations or they said to hell with school. many guys signed up for school, started going then the navy changed their working hours and they had to drop out of class. or they fought to stay in class and not change shifts but then their evaluations got hurt and if you never served your evaluations is all you have in the navy. without good ones you will never advance to the next rank. its a serious catch 22.
my career was #2 to me while i was in, my #1 was my family. this also hurt my evaluations because i never put the navy first and they knew it. if you were not 110% Navy while your in then you are a loser in their eyes. but then again thats why the divorce rate is so high in the military. many of my buddies got divorced because they chose the navy over family.
if you dont repsect the men in service because of what they do then thats fine. but at leased respect them for doing it with a family because the navy wife is seriously the hardest job in the navy. picture your husband leaving for 6 months and longer at a time and your stuck home with the kids, bills, lawn, dishes, school teachers problems, sickness, car trouble, injury, cook dinner, breakfast and lunch dayin and day out, disipline the children...... imagine doing all this and more BY YOURSELF.... when i left for 6 months deployments i didnt have to worry about anything besides work. my wife had to worry about everything else.

i know all the single moms are going to chime in and say they do it all the time. believe me i have so much respect for single moms its not funny. but add to the stress not knowing if your husband is coming home alive is more than many can handle.
