to answer your question in one word...ABSOLUTELY. I just graduated from a state school (Northern Arizona University) last May, and now I'm working 50 hours a week in retail for a cell phone provider. I told myself I wouldn't leave college and get a job for "The MAN" busting my ass and not being rewarded for it; but rent, college loans, vehicle (payments, insurance, gas), food and money to just get by has to come first. I wish the best to everyone who finds themselves in a similiar situation, and if you find some nice employment please get at your boy!!!

People are always quick to ask me how I'm doing...
i tell 'em I'm maintaining and continue on...
