I too am finally on my way to actual school!
After I graduated high school in '99, I had no idea what I wanted to do with myself so I went to community college (a.k.a. high school, part 2) to take a bunch of basic and intro classes and see what grabbed me. I did this while working full time so I took mostly night classes. 8 years later I finally have an Associates degree in Liberal Arts (which is pretty much useless in this day and age).
So, motivated (ha, I say motivated) by my incredible uselessness and the uselessness of my degree and hatred for my retail job, I determined myself to go to actual school even if it cost me way too much and even if it was in a field I didn't necessarily love or even care about so long as it was something that would get me a lot of money and opportunity.
I chose Accounting.

Friday I got my Fall schedule finalized and determined that I have gathered about $24,000 so far in scholarships, financial aid, and loans (this place costs about $28,000 a year) and will soon be on my way to non-uselessness....hopefully....

Working in retail always helps to convince me I'm doing the right thing by going to Uni and racking up enormous debt
Retail and customer service would be fine jobs, if you could somehow avoid being in contact with other people altogether. :D
Good for you, Sataicallista. Companies ALWAYS need accountants. My brother got hired right away after he graduated with his degree in accounting. Now if only I could get a job when I (finally) finish. ;)
Anyway, good luck with the studies! :)
Oh, and the "I have to recharge this secondhand T40 laptop at least once a day, I think there's something wrong with it" -type. And the "Do you fix radiators?" -type makes you seriously consider a change of profession.
Can't laugh at them, can't shoot them. :I
I'm still at Home Depot right now on the Contractor services end of the store so 90% of my customers are rough, dirty, smelly, uneducated middle-aged men who don't get that it's not kosher to tell me my hairy Italian arms turn them on. :P

oh you get that too huh? I knew I wasn't the only one with hairy Italian arms...Whats the deal with that anyway?
An accounting degree sure will give you employability, just don't go work for any Enron!
And I guess keeping track of those student loans will give you some real life accounting experience!
