Wtf... I'm in dual enrollment for Pre-Cal in high school and I paid my fees already for this class and credits. The college I'm getting the credits from have the nerve to charge me THAT much. Apparently, it's from out of state tuition... I've lived here since I was like 5 years old.
WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THAT -blam!-ING MONEY?
This is exactly why people aren't educated enough in this country, we charge too damn much, I feel sorry for those who want to travel to another college in another state, only to be bombarded with fees just for being an outside resident, unless they have scholarships. God... My account even says I don't have fees.
UPDATE: Looks like they were in the wrong, everything is paid and whatnot on a tab I didn't click. No balance and it turns out the letter was over a week old. That was a scare to me and the family. We would've given them hell if that was a mistake. Either way, I don't see why there's "out of state" even on there in the first place...

You can get a scholarship for just about anything these days. There's utterly no excuse NOT to take that money and get a degree to make a lot of money. Most employers won't even hire you if you don't have some sort of higher education as it shows one of two things: 1. You have already been trained and thus the company won't need to spend thousands of dollars on an asset that may leave in a couple years, thus making it a bad investment for them 2. A college education proves that you are able to be dedicated and perform more independently along with completing many assignments in a short amount of time
