Not to sound like a sanctimonious twit, but this is why I find this forum entertaining-- we have such a wild divergence of views. Also, we're way off-topic, but what the hell.
Angel, I have the feeling I've asked this before, but I'll ask again... what exactly are you talking about? You went to college... but not to uni(versity?) Here, you go through thirteen years of elementary, middle, and high school; then either you go to a college (or university, they're basically the same thing) to get a degree or you go get a job. It usually takes about 4-5 years of undergraduate education for engineering, journalism, whatever; then, depending on the job you go on to graduate school to get whatever higher degrees you need, and that usually takes 2-4 years.
And... your grant? What exactly is that? Is that just need-based grants from the government, like the ones we can get from the feds or (in my case) the Maryland State Board of Education; or something else? (Note on those: I hate them. I'm paying for my own college, and I am POOR, but because the FAFSA (the grant application thing) bases it on your parent's income rather than yours, it said I could only get aid for above 8,000 dollars or so... and the University of Maryland charges 7,000 some a year.
Arseface-- socializing. Possibly, but I suck at it. Which kinda kills that aspect.
And Angel, out of curiosity, what are these jobs you speak of?
