I worked all through college, but I was on the 13+ year plan... I was married and having kids, so school came 3rd in line and my wife at the time was in college as well... she went full time and graduated, then decided she didn't need me anymore.... I finally finished my Comsci degree when a company I was working for wanted me to get it done so they could officially put me in charge of the team I'd been running for 3 years. They picked up the 40k tab at College of Charleston and I did nothing but work 50 to 60 hours a week and took a full load of classes for a year and a half. I had it figured out to a class what grade I had to make to graduate and be within the minimum GPA for the degree and college to graduate. I already had 15 years of work experience in coding. I still have 15k in loans I'm paying back and used up all of my GI bill as well.
The program my son is in costs 39k, he has gotten some of the costs reduced because of his 2 years of diesel in votech and college classes he has already taken at TCC for business. He is using loans, and will pay 10k out of his pocket as well to get his associates degree there. He will be doing the 4 days a week at night for the next 5 months, then the rest is online classes and will graduate next November.
Called stroud safety a few minutes ago and guess the guy I need to talk too is on vacation this week, told me to call back next Monday.
