Welcome to CompD.
I suppose it seems slightly irresponsible on the surface, but I can totally relate to it. When I was in college I drag raced in a very competitive class, running all up and down the West coast. I had taken a year off to save up money for college, and had a really good year of racing. Instead of adding the racing winnings to my earnings (into my college fund) I decided to spend it on a faster race car chassis, and keep working through college. Racing the faster class I broke even over several years, and had some of the most enjoyable times in my life (and met many life-long friends). My parents hated it, but since they weren't paying for college, I figured I could call my own shots. When I graduated (in the middle of a recession), the only 3 job offers I had were all tied to contacts I made in racing.why would you buy something you can't afford to fix..... when still in school....... not sayin, just sayin....
Yeah I hear that's how college is . Glad I never went. I'd have been out about 2yrs and have no money :badidea:.
Once I get out I'll will be able to have a great job and make dang good money.

Or is there really no need for them?

That may work in some parts of the country, but around here you'd better have a degree if you want to ever be able to afford the nice stuff. I have zero regrets about college, and I went for 10 years (dropped out with one year to go for my PhD). I worked during the entire time though, so I was still making money, experience and contacts (just not sleeping much).
The only reason I can't afford nice stuff after all that was the fact that I married a money-grubbing tramp who took me to the cleaners (but I got custody of my daughter, the most important part).
LMAO!!! I like this girl!
