I was a Finance major. If I had to go back, the only business major I would major in is accounting. All the others will give you personal knowledge, but you will be fighting with every other business major for the same job. 10-15 years ago you would have been fine but this economy. . . I obviously don't need to explain.

Man I don't know about buisness classes but im going back to finish up some of my basics and taking them online and hate it. I need at least a little bit of structure to get things done and there is none. But its good if you like that sort of thing. whatever you choose to go into and do, good luck to ya.

I am back in school right now. I already have a degree, but I am going into nursing. It's weird, I never realized how true the old saying, "those who pay their own way through school don't flunk out," was. I am taking some classes now that are way harder than a lot of my old classes and I am hard on myself if I get a B. I got good grades before and graduated with honors, but I didn't care as much. Good for you, if you decide to do it. I don't think education is ever a bad thing.

I just did the same thing last semester. I got my AA, but that was years ago. Ten years in fact. Full time work, family, it's busy. I wish I'd have done this earlier in life, but I didn't have the motivation or desire. Now I'm back in and working on a totally different major. It's challenging, but I am enjoying it so far.

What are you talking about? We are about to have a flat tax. The government will tax and tax, and we will all be flat...broke.

You are, of course entitled to your opinion. I prefer the fair tax as it allows each and every person to directly decide how much of the money they earn is paid in taxes.

I'm getting ready to go back also. A totally different thing than what my first degree was in... I'm not looking forward to it but I am so excited to get in and get my certification.... Today my goal is to find a second job so I can pay off some bills so I can go down to part time to get back to school. 80 hours a week....this sh^& isn't going to be fun but got to do what I got to do !

Gaining knowledge is the only way to live without being a burden Go for it, it'll pay off in the long run!!

Vs the flat tax, where you take your yearly income, multiply by 0.14 (14%), and send that amount in. Do it on the back of a postcard. Flat tax makes everyone pay equally - whereas today about 40-50% of Americans don't pay any taxes, the flat tax is applied to everyone without prejudice or favor; that's why I like the idea of it so much (that, and it's put into practice in eastern europe with great effect)

Are you familiar with the Fair Tx? Not trying to be snarky, just making sure we are on the same page. Flat tax is better than what we have now, no doubt. However it still doesn't account for unreported income that someone such as a street pharmacist might make. Also, as a libertarian, I like the idea of the Fair Tx in as much as no one needs to know how much money I or anyone else makes. It also rewards living within one's means, being a saavy consumer and saving/investing.

Yeah it is. I'm just at the community college and so far am paying out of my own pocket. I think I can do that and be fine for about 2 years, maybe. Once I finish and move to a real college though....I've pretty much accepted that I will just end up back in debt.
