Damned college decisions.

[protegechris]

So. I've been out of school for a while. (high school, that is).

Naturally, college is right around the corner.

Here's my pickle, which I come to my old home for advice on, as you know the smartest people in the world do frequent the winamp forums

I am currently employed on GeekSquad, shame on me right? It's actually quite a difficult job to obtain here. Better pay than I've had at any job thus far.

I have a scholarship to cover tuition and fees for an associate's degree at the community college. Catch: I must start this fall, I must remain full-time the entire time.

I am about to move into an apartment near my work (close enough to walk). When I do so, I will no longer have a vehicle due to some family issues. More specifically, I totaled my family's car, and now the one I bought.. I intend to sign over to my parent to make up for my little accident.

The college is on the other side of time. Also, full-time college would interfere with pretty much any shift at work.

To solve the car problem, I will have to find a second job. The apartments are right in the heart of town, which helps.

So.. what do I do here? Do I put off college (PAID) for another year or so until I can get my act together, and focus on A+, MCSE, etc. certifications in the mean time?

Another point I wanted to being up: University of Phoenix. I can get my bachelor's in IT there, however, I will have to take out student loans, and for my first year in college.. it seems retarded to start out in debt. Also, I don't believe that many employers would take a bachelor's in IT (learned online) very seriously.

I have a whopping sixteen hours I managed to get while in high school.. so I wouldn't be TOO behind by delaying.

Seeing as most in this forum have or are going through similar issues.. I thought it'd be a good place to ask.

Opinions?
